Veeam Invalid NFS Path

Invalid NFS Path KB ID 0001924

Problem

When trying to setup a Veeam repository that is an NFS Share, I got the following error.

Veeam Invalid NFS Path

After about 35 minutes of trying different combinations and back slashes and forward slashes I gave up.

Solution : Invalid NFS Path

I knew I’d seen this before, and annoyingly I’d not written anything down! Turns out I’m old (and blind), the answer is staring me in the face. THERE SHOULD BE a colon ‘:’ INBETWEEN the IP ADDRESS (or server name) and the FORWARD SLASH.

For example.

192.168.100.3:/NFS-Share
or
SERVER-NAME:/NFS-Share

Once the syntax was correct, Veeam could connect to it is successfully.
