Warning: "the selected backup repo...requires periodic full backups"

Post by renatorichina »

I got a warning message in a backup job I never saw before in Veeam and could also find no information about.

"The selected backup repository requires periodc active full backups to be scheduled"

The job has synthetic weekly full and monthly active full backups. It's a Nutanix backup job.

What does this warning message mean?

Hi,

What's your target repository? I guess it's a dedupe storage appliance?

Thanks!

Hi, no it's a standard Windows File Server repository.

Best regards

Hi @renatorichina Ok. It is Windows but it is NTFS or ReFS repository. Are you experiencing any backup issues or is it just a message popping up. If you do have issues please open up a trouble ticket with Veeam :D .

Which version of AHV are you running then? The described behaviour is either a bug, or you are on the older version (v3) - starting v4 synthetic full is also sufficient.

If you are on v4 or later, please post your support case number.

Thanks!
