Veeam SureBackup errors out after changing Veeam server IP address

After changing the IP address of your Veeam server you might receive an invalid datastore path error upon powering on the first VM in a SureBackup job. To fix this you need to recreate the NFS volume on the host running your SureBackup. In vSphere Client go to the configuration tab of your host and select storage. Have it rescan all your storage, and you should see the VeeamBackup datastore disappear. Once it's gone select add storage and then NFS. Enter the IP or FQDN of your Veeam server, for the folder enter "/VeeamBackup_<server name>" where <server name> is the name of your Veeam server, and enter "VeeamBackup_<server name>" for the datastore name. Do not check "Mount NFS read-only". Once that's done SureBackup should work correctly again.
