How to add a network folder to store files in Veeam backup?

Question

System administration

I downloaded the free version of Veeam Backup 9.5, added a couple of servers on Windows from which I want to make backups. I'm trying to add a computer on Linux in order to store them there (shared folder). But there is no such option in the list. How to do it right?

Answer 1

In the previous versions, as far as I remember, first it was necessary to add a repository (the desired share), temporarily switching to extended functionality mode (there is something like a trial "Full Version" in the program menu). And then I used powershell for automation.

Answer 2

try cobian backup ??
At work, about a dozen Windows computers backup. Through the snapshot service, it makes a shadow copy (which means it doesn’t give a damn about open and other blocked files), then from the copy it compresses the desired branch of folders and files into 7zip (I can just copy it this way) and casts via FTP to Linux. plus diff backups.
minus - a bit outdated, but it works.

Answer 3

you are doing something a little wrong, you will connect the samba ball as a network drive to your Windows server on which you have Veeam installed. And in the snap that you opened, there is a direct connection to vendor storage
