SD Card is Skipped during Veeam Agent Backup Job Configuration
Challenge
- If the Entire computer mode and Include external USB drives check box are selected, removable devices are skipped during the backup.
- If the Volume level backup mode is selected, removable devices are not available at the Volumes step of the wizard.
Cause
Solution
- wmic logicaldisk — if this query specifies the device type as 2, then the device is not supported.
- wmic shadowcopy call create Volume "Volume Name" , then vssadmin list shadows — the first query creates a volume shadow copy, the second query verifies if the volume shadow copy was created. If it was not created, the device is not supported.
