Rescanning Backup Repository

You can rescan a backup repository configured in Veeam Agent for IBM AIX. This may be useful, for example, after information about a backup stored in the backup repository is deleted from the Veeam Agent configuration database, or after you copy a backup to the backup repository. Veeam Agent will refresh the list of backups in the backup repository.

To rescan a backup repository, use the following command:

veeamconfig repository rescan --id <repository_id>

or

veeamconfig repository rescan --name <repository_name>

where:

  • <repository_id> — ID of the backup repository that you want to rescan.
  • <repository_name> — name of the backup repository that you want to rescan.

For example:

$ veeamconfig repository rescan --name [vbr01]BackupVol01

You can also rescan all backup repositories configured in Veeam Agent at once. Use the following command:

veeamconfig repository rescan --all
