Backup Files from WebDAV Source

Post by RRStefan »

Hello,

we have to backup files from a WebDAV source. The idea was to map the webdav source on a drive letter (for example t:\) of the backup server. Then we want to create a backup job (file based) that backups t:\.

Mapping the source to t:\ works in Windows but Veeam says nothing there to backup.

Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?

Thanks.

Hello Stefan,
Mapping the source to t:\ works in Windows but Veeam says nothing there to backup.
Once mapped it starts to act as a symlink which we do not process by default, thus you will see the folder in the backup but without any content.

Is it possible to naturally present WebDAV source as NFS or SMB file share from it's source? Thank you!

Thanks for your explanation.

It's data from an online tool and there is no other way than webdav to get the data.
