Backups on Veeam free

[carlos_c]

Am just running Veeam free on a site just to get some backups before upgrading to the full product -

We have 6 vms' on esxi 5.1 - four are single disk vm's and two have multiple VD's. The single disk vm's back up happily - the ones with multiple VD's backup the first disk then terminate with a warning error - is this by design or is there somewhere to tell it to select all virtual disks, can't see many configuration options. ?

By default, all supported disks should be backed up. What kind of warning do you get? What kind of disks these are?

[carlos_c]

The backup files are vmdk

The error is just "job finished with error" - no details

What if you select the particular VM to the left in the job statistics window, do you see any errors/warnings there? I also recommend to contact technical support as it is advised to do with all technical issues.

found out the issues - disks on the vm were wrong type (independent) - easily resolved now

Yep, independent disks are not supported and automatically skipped during the backup.
