A job targetting a Hardened Linux Repository (Immutable) fails with an error about being unable to remove restore points or update immutability (examples below). Failed to delete file '/path/to/storage.vbk': Operation not permitted Failed to perform setting immutability for backup Error: Agent: Failed to process method Failed to delete '.vbk' per retention policy Error: boost::filesystem::remove: Operation not permitted: "/path/to/restorepoint.vib" Agent failed to process method {FileSystem.FileRemove}.
This problem is caused by the SGID bit set on the backup directory. Due to the SGID bit, all files created within this directory inherit the directory's group ownership. This conflicts with the verification routine in VBR that ensures the .veeam.lock file belongs to the root user and root group. As a result of this conflict, errors arise during the processing of the .veeam.lock file.
In the command examples below, the placeholder '/path/to/repository/' is used to represent the path to the root folder that was specified when the repository was created in Veeam Backup & Replication. You can confirm the path needed by checking the Path column listed for the repository within the Backup Repositories list in the Veeam Backup & Replication Console. Open the Backup Infrastructure view. In the inventory pane, select the Backup Repositories node.
