[solved] How to create a subfolder in local storage?

Thread needs solution

Good morning everybody.

How can I create a subfolder in a local storage drive on Acronis 12?
I've imported a few backup plans from Acronis 11.7 and these plans
are saving to a subfolder D:\ESXi or D:\RF

This is working very well but if I try to create a new backup plan I
can't create a subfolder like D:\VM oder D:\RFS :(

Acronis tell me that this folder does not exist - and I know that ;)
But how can I create a folder or how can I tell Acronis to use this
folder and create it automatically?

Anybody did this before?

Thanks for your help

I found the same situation with acronis 12 for creating new subfolders.

This is my solution (which one is not the perfect way):

I create with the windows exporer first my desired subfolder - than you can pick it in the backup plan.

Thx for your reply but this is not possible...
I've added two storage files directly to the appliance so I can't connect them to a Windows based Server?
...please have a look to my attachment.

I try to shutdown the appliance and configure the VMDK to another server and see what happens. :/

Edit:
As I thought...
I can't access these VMDK if I add them to a windows based system. :(

Hi,

In case of Locally Attached Storage (LAS) connected to Virtual Appliance you can only create subfolders manually from the appliance console:

1) Open the console in vSphere client - see LASsubfolder1.png

2) Switch to command prompt via Ctrl+Shift+F2 (switching back can be done via Alt+F1)

3) Issue 'mount' command to see where your LAS is mounted to - see LASsubfolder2.png

4) Then create a subfolder via 'mkdir' command - also see LASsubfolder2.png

5) Now you will see this subfolder in web console interface - see LASsubfolder3.png

P.S. this storage is formatted in ext2 file system so you can also browse it from any Linux system (but not from Windows one).

Thank you.
