Backup failing and failing again

Thread needs solution

Hello everyone,

we've had a proper working backup to a NAS storage for a long time. Due to the summer, we've lost our NAS storage to heat-death.

So all that I've changed so far is to attach a single USB drive (which should have enough capacity, indeed) as a new backup target destination.

But it does not work. It's failing and failing again. All I've changed is the backup destination. I've restarted the vm appliance (does not help). I've tried to skip application metadata collection (did not help).

What am I doing wrong with the new destination? Here you have some error logs. Hopefully they can give a clue.

Thanks for reading and your help.

Hi ece,

The behavior depends on how exactly you access the USB drive from Acronis Backup for VMware interface. It may be attached directly to machine running Acronis Windows Agent or can be accessed over network as a network share. In first case there should be no problems (you can use this approach as a workaround for example), while in case of appliance accessing USB drive over network it matters where exactly the drive is attached to, i.e. to which OS (Windows or some NAS device). It makes sense to try attaching the drive to another machine and share it over network. Please contact our support team for assistance if there are still problems left.

Thank you.
