Naming Conventions

Do not use Microsoft Windows reserved names for names of the backup server, managed servers, backup repositories, jobs, tenants and other objects created in Veeam Backup & Replication: CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8 and LPT9.

If you plan to store backups on a repository operating in the per-machine mode, do not use Microsoft Windows reserved names for names of the virtual machines to back up.

If you use a reserved name, Veeam Backup & Replication may not work as expected. For more information on naming conventions in Microsoft Windows, see Microsoft Docs.
