Rescanning Storage Systems
You can rescan a storage system added to the backup infrastructure. Storage system rescan may be required, for example, if you create or delete snapshots on the storage system. Storage system rescan will help you discover these changes and update the storage system hierarchy in the Veeam Backup & Replication console. Storage system rescan can be performed automatically or manually.
For more information about the storage system rescan process, see Storage Discovery Process.
Before you start storage discovery, make sure that you have a properly configured backup proxy in the backup infrastructure. Otherwise, Veeam Backup & Replication will not be able to match storage volumes to VMware datastores and locate VMs on these storage volumes.

Veeam Backup & Replication does not perform rescan on VMs whose disks are located on VVol datastores. |
To limit the rescan scope, do one of the following:
- Open the Storage Infrastructure view. In the inventory pane, select the storage system type. In the working area, right-click the root node of the storage system and click Edit Volumes. Select the volumes you want to rescan.
- Open the storage system connection settings and navigate to the VMware/NAS/Veeam Agent Access Options step of the wizard. Select the volumes you want to rescan.
