@kelvin koh Thanks for posting the question.

Is you environment Vsphere and the PVC that you use are vsphere CSI provisioned ?

As of today, VBR profile is supported only for Vsphere CSI provisioned volumes.

thanks for the details.

Actually, I misunderstood the question earlier. I see that you are trying to use VBR profiles for collection in the policy right ?

VBR profiles doesn’t support collections as of now. You will have to have an alternate S3/compatible storage for metadata storage

i configured s3 storage for the backup and it work well. just wonder what kind of backup supported in VBR Profiles?

i finally figure out what going on here, veeam vbr profile location only supported persistent volume data, which not supported for “Export Location Profile” and “Location Profile for Kanister Actions” and i need to use S3 location profiles.  At the “export snapshot data in block mode” i can select the VBR profile to backup the persistent volumes.

Yes @kelvin koh I missed the notifications from the thread.

Yes you are right. VBR just supports Block mode export from the PVCs. It doesnt support backing up the metadata/configs/manifests etc.

All the configs/specs/metadata everything needs to go to another location.

:) just a related question :) @jaiganeshjk Is there any time frame available for when full export might be available to VBR, considering V12 will support S3 direct repositories? Thanks
