NBD backups when they should be NFS

[scdor_bsmith]

Hi Chuck,

We found a similar issue with creating Hyper-V VM repositories on Azure HCI on prem storage as well. I dont understand why Veeam uses a bios IDs to identify anything in their database. If its a VM, use the VM UUID, if its physical use the bios then, but who has all physical anymore?

Hi Billy,

I guess that bios uuid is the only identifier that guarantees object uniqueness that is required for proper backend functioning: for instance, any duplicates at the level of our configuration database can provoke unexpected technical issues.

Also, I would like to pay attention that the topic is created in VMware vSphere forum branch, not in the Hyper-V one. Furthermore, it's not clear what kind of issue did you encounter and why you think that it's related to bios uuid.

Thanks!
