Moving a large VM will VEEAM interfere?

Post by walrus2120 »

I need to change the storage location of a file server VM from one partition to another (within the same host). It is about 5TB in size so it wont finish before the next job runs.

Would like to know if i need (or should) to disable the veeam job prior to starting the storage move? (i will be moving all VM files to the new location).

Thank you in advance

Hi David, the backup job won't be able to perform its activity for the VMs that are currently being migrated and will just fail those.
