Question

Removing Unavailable Backup Repository


Edition = latest edition of Veeam Community Edition 


-I successfully right-mouse click the menu area and enabled Home so that Backup Jobs are visible in Community Edition.


-I then successfully created a backup job using local administrator as Veeam Community Edition will only run the backup job with local administrator not any other local user with administrator permissions.


-I then successfully completed a backup.


-Initially, I was using Backup1 as the backup repository. I then went on to use another backup repository of Backup2. I have completed backups using Backup2 and want to remove the backup repository of Backup1. It shows Backup1 as unavailable which is correct. When I right-mouse click to remove Backup1, it says: “Backup1 is used for configuration backup. Open configuration backup settings and choose another backup repository first.”


I do not see any menu option or area that defines Configuration Backup Settings. Where is it?

Hi @community_user_4000

You simply click on the Main Menu, then select Configuration Database & change the Repository for it to your Backup2 Repo. See the Guide for assistance if needed:

Click on the hamburger menu in the top left and then configuration backup.  Change it there.
