Veeam B&R utilizes VMware's backup APIs in order to provide backups of virtual disks. It is not a generalized host backup product, and it cannot take backups of guest-mounted iSCSI volumes. If you want Veeam to back up this drive, you'll need to attach it as an RDM (Raw Device Mapping) in Virtual mode from the hypervisor side instead of attaching it via the guest iSCSI initiator.

Solution: I just mount the ISCSI to the Hypervisor and then create a VHDX on that ISCSI LUN. Present it to the VM. Veam should be able to back it up then.

There are two options available for you: either convert these disks to vRDMs or use Veeam Agent for Windows to back up this VM. P.S. iSCSI disks cannot be backed up with Veeam B&R as VMware vSphere does not recognize these volumes as disks, not much we can do here.

Then I remember that Veeam Agent for Windows could be used to both P2V (Physical to Virtual) and backup Virtual Machines with ISCSI disks.

31.05.2016 · How do I configure Veeam backup and replication to backup -to- a (Synology nas) iscsi target? It's a fresh install of Veeam on a VM machine, and want to try this software before purchase. Currently I manually backup my VM's (vhd's, not content) with GhettoVCB every week or so, but I've heard so many good things about Veeam that I wanted to try it too.

Veeam provides fast disk-based backup and recovery of virtual machines (VMs), while Drobo provides an easy-to-use and scalable disk-based storage target. The ...

Veeam can't backup iSCSI directly. You would need to place a .vhdx or .vmdk file on the LUN, put all the files into it, and mount the LUN in the VM disk ...

TIL: Veeam Does Not Backup Drives Connected to a Virtual Machine via iSCSI Luckily, I discovered this while looking for some non-critical data in a Veeam File Level Restore, and before there was some sort of catastrophic SAN failure (I've just been sending the Veeam Repositories off-site as part of my backup).

20.04.2021 · Veeam Backup & Replication will modify the VMX file of a backed-up VM to remove excluded disks from the VM configuration. If you restore this VM from the backup file to a location where excluded disks are not accessible with the original paths, you will not have to manually edit the VM configuration file to be able to power on the VM.

12.04.2011 · I have to setup my Veeam Backup Server (Virtual) to connect to the iSCSI with the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator and map the drive to a letter so that Veeam will see the drive and I am able to backup to it. This configuration is ONLY for Backing up LUN based VMs so that Veeam / Backup Proxy can READ the Guest VM Data from the LUN Directly.

Hi, There are two options available for you: either convert these disks to vRDMs or use Veeam Agent for Windows to back up this VM.

Veeam provides fast disk-based backup and recovery of virtual machines (VMs), while Drobo provides an ultra-easy-to-use and scalable disk-based storage target.

For creating a backup of a VMware VM with an iSCSI connected volume you can use a Veeam Agent for Windows (VAW). A specific case at a ...

04.03.2021 · The Direct SAN access transport mode is recommended for VMs whose disks are located on shared VMFS SAN LUNs that are connected to ESXi hosts over FC, FCoE, iSCSI, and on shared SAS storage. In the Direct SAN access transport mode, Veeam Backup & Replication leverages VMware VADP to transport VM data directly from and to FC, FCoE and iSCSI ...
