Happy Wednesday, Community!

Some good news came from the Veeam KB Support team yesterday. There will now be the ability to change log location for all of the Veeam Software Appliances → VSA, VIA, VHR. I know there have been some posts on here for those early in testing out VDP v13 where space has become an issue on the VSA. This change allows VDP users to modify the log location to a more robust storage location on the the Appliances to hopefully mitigate encountered space issues.

But keep in mind...if you do indeed modify the log location on your Appliances, there is a caveat as noted at the top of the KB -

Automated log collection tools built into both the Veeam Backup & Replication Web UI of the Veeam Software Appliance and the "Create support bundle" function within the Host Management Console collect logs only from the default log location, /var/log/VeeamBackup/ . As such, Diagnostic logging stored in a different folder, as documented in this KB, will not be collected automatically and must be collected manually.

For more details and information, reference the below KB

Best.

Saw this KB come out yesterday.  Already looking at it for VSA devices as I ran in to this some time back, but that was with the OVA deployment due to the static disk sizes.  Using ISO now to create larger disks for VSA.

Good to know! This kind of change is necessary as easy as possible.
