Permission Denied when trying to add another Hardened Repository to the Backup Repositories.

I was able to setup and add/use the initial disk to the Backup Repositories. However, I’m thinking, it we reach the maximum drive size, we would need to add a second immutable disk to the Backup Repositories. In doing so, I encountered the following error:

Since this is a different mount point, I’m assuming it should work. I tried re-adding the veeamuser (username used to add the original immutable disk) to sudo group and reset the password but still unable to add the 2nd immutable disk to the Backup Repo. My objective is to create an immutable SOBR that would allow adding disks as needed.

What do you think am I missing here? Thanks

@spider32  I feel like a few steps were not performed on the new disk path, namely the chown and chmod commands. See this for the path: Configuring Ubuntu Linux Server - User Guide for VMware vSphere (veeam.com)

@Madi.Cristil @safiya - please move this question to the discussion board as it seems not related to VRO.

Thanks @Rick Vanover, I forgot that chown and chmod steps on this directory. I finally got the SOBR created.

You need to chmod 700 & chown the remote directory for the veam one time SSH user account.
Afterwards change the password on the veeam account and remove sudo permissions.
