You should see it start scanning like the image to the left
We now need to tell veeam where to find the backup files we have moved, so that our backup jobs will continue as normal but the actual data has moved.

Select Backup and Replication from the bottom menu and then select and edit the job.
Go through as if your going to recreate the job until you reach Storage.
We want to change the Backup Repository so select the repository where you have move the data to, in my case VMBackupNas2.
You will see Map Backup highlighted in blue, click on it and select the backup.
This is very important as Veeam will not see where the old files are unless you complete this step.
If you did not do this it would create a whole new folder to store the backup files.
click next a few time and then finish.
