Hi, all relatively new to Veeam but with 25+ experience in B/A things. For small kick i wanted to application aware VBR postgresql backup of VM where it’s running, it’s Windows machine.

When i choose all parameters and i want archive logs to have retention and click ok i get this :

What? Our VBR and Postgresql is on Windows, obviously. Any pointers appreciated.

Thanks, that makes sense, although i expected some better discovery or at least better feedback or pre-info. Closing.

Last november during Veeam Community event I asked to Antony Gostev when Postgres log backup  for Windows feature Will be presente in Veeam. Antony said Is not and idea. But I explained him I had a client with 450 server with Postgres. 

I think we will not see this feature.
