FortiMail and Veeam Backup & Replication

[gdistatte]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with the backup of the fortimail with veeam 9.5 u3. 

"VMDK disk is not properly aligned. Disk size is not a multiple of 1KB."

No vmware tools installed in the vm of course.

Application aware backup and vmware tools quiescence are disabled.

Is it possible to resize the main disk ?

Thanks in advance for all the answers.

I ran into the very same problem. Would like to get a solution as i can't change the disksize using vCenter...

There is NFR #0262308 raised to enable VMTools on the VM, please express your support via your Fortinet Account Team.  I am not sure if this is the only thing required to support Veeam however so this may need further investigation.

Thank you for the information.

Hi!

I just ran into the same issue - FortiMail VM on VMWare ESXi. VMWare-Tools are not available and Veeam B&R is not able to start a backup because "VMDK disk is not properly aligned. Disk size is not a multiple of 1KB."

Have you been able to solve this?

Thank you for your help!

Hi!

VMWare Tools are still not available, but resizing the boot-disk with PowerCLI did it:

Get-HardDisk -vm fortimail-vm-64bit-250gb-hw7-vmxnet3 | where {$_.name -eq "Hard disk 1"} |Set-HardDisk -capacityGB 0.6

Backup was possible, now.
