I’ve looked for an answer and can’t seem to find one … Can a hardened Linux repository be used by more than on VEEAM server? I’ve tried it an it is working I wondered if there are any limitations or concerns to be worried about? For example both servers running backups at the same time? I can see based on directory naming I will need to be careful with job names that they are unique. Thanks for your time …

Backup repositories in general are only supposed to be used by one VBR at a time if they’re being shared.
And under no circumstances share the same directory path, be sure they’re unique!

Though they are “supposed” to be pointing to only 1 VBR at a time, theoretically, they can be used by more than 1. But this is not really supported.

Thanks Vm.joe, that’s a good additional point. This is in a home environment using community edition, so best practices are noted, but not necessarily followed.
+9Even if you can I’d advise against it if possible
