Max number of snapshots

[gabbas]

Hi, we have recently noticed our Veeam backup for Azure backup polices snapshots retention has been automatically changed from 72 to 60 and we are unable to increase this number any further. A support case has been raised with Veeam but has anyone else experienced this issue too?

Hi! Currently, we allow 60 snapshots in the daily schedule of the backup policy. However, for weekly and monthly schedules, you can specify more snapshots. This number will be increased in the upcoming release.

Hi Lyudmila, thank you. But is this something recently changed as we configured all our backup policies with 72 hourly snapshots and they have all been working fine up until a week or 2 ago?

Could you please let me know if you had upgraded to v6a before discovering the issue?

[gabbas]

Yes, that's correct

[lyudmila.ezerskaya]

This is an issue in v6a that has been addressed in the upcoming v7 release. Once you update your appliance to v7, you'll have the ability to adjust the settings back to 72 snapshots.
