I'm hoping you can give me pointers on this, because I'm at a loss...
Our backup is fairly large. There are 13 VMs, but 2 of them are respectivetly 6 and 3TB in size.
It took a while for both machines to complete it's first initial backup, because it kept failing. But once it did the initial backup, everything was fine.
That is, until we needed to change the IP address of our vCenter server. Unfortunately, the vCenter was configured with the IP address, and not the FQDN. So when we changed the IP address, we had to re-add the vCenter server (we used the FQDN this time!

As expected, the two large VMs keep failing close to the end. It's usually an "SQL Server Not Available" error, but it has thrown a "Failed To Write Data To The File" or a "Exception Of Type 'Veeam.Backup.AgentProvider.AgentClosedException' was thrown" from time to time. So, in order to at least have the other machines backed up, I excluded the two large VMs from that job, and created another job, for that folder, with only the 2 machines. I was able to successfully backup one of the two machines, but I still am not able to complete the other one.
My two questions are :
- Is there a better way to deal with large VMs in Veeam?
- Anyone had issues like that and got any tips for successfully complete a large VM backup?
- Once the backup is completed, is there anyway to merge them to the original backup job, so that I don't have a two separate backup jobs ?
Thanks in advance!
