Looking to start a replication group from a VM and default backupset to a mount path on a dell powerscale. Going forward this volume will be san hosted instead of mounted via a server. Upon looking at the config- i dont see an option. Im away replication groups are agent to agent. I thought about makign a library with the location- but even that doenst allow.

Am I interpreting correctly that you want to replicate the VM files from a hypervisor (backup) to a non-hypervisor related storage location?
If so, the replication group is only capable (as far as I know) to replicate between the same environment types.
hypervisor to hypervisor
file agent to file agent

+11You were correct, and I thought the same thing as I stated : Im aware the replication is agent to agent”
I just wanted to see if anyone has hacked their way through this.
No worries. Thanks for clarifying my thoughts.

You could restore a VM periodically to a client with a virtual server agent and a file system agent.
Then either:
- backup the vm files with the file system agent and then replicate them to an agent on the dell server. Or,
- When restored use something like robocopy to transfer them to the dell machine
