Purpose
The VBRCatalog folder needs to be moved.
Solution
VBRCatalog Location Requirements
- The VBRCatalog folder must be at the root of a given drive letter.
Example: C:\VBRCatalog\ or D:\VBRCatalog\
- If the original location of the VBRCatalog is missing, create a new VBRCatalog folder in the root of an available drive, and skip Step 3 below.
The following steps are to be performed on the server where Veeam Backup & Replication is installed.
- Make sure all jobs are stopped and disabled.
- Stop all Veeam services
(PowerShell Example Below)
Get-Service Veeam* | Stop-Service- Move the VBRCatalog folder to the new location.1
- Recreate the Share
- Open Computer Management
- Navigate to [System Tools] > [Shared Folders] > [Shares]
- From Menu select [Action] > [New Share...]
- Select the new folder path to where the VBRCatalog was moved
- On the next page of the wizard name the share VBRCatalog
- On "Shared Folder Permissions" page select [Customize permissions]
- Remove "Everyone"
- Add "Administrators"
Note: the Location selected when specifying Administrators must be the Veeam Server, not the domain.
- The Permissions should now list Adminsitrators with only Read Allow permission.
- Press OK, and Finish (twice) to complete recreation of the share.
- Change the location in the registry.
- Open Regedit
- Navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup Catalog
- Find the REG_SZ entry named CatalogPath
- Change the Value data to match the new VBR catalog location.
