Job exceeded the allowed backup window after upgrade to v3

[m.novelli]

Hi guys, I've updated from v2.0 latest patch to v3.0 in my Office and now I'm getting the error "Job exceeded the allowed backup window" since 3 - 4 days

In the global statistics I see very little data transferred (732.9 MB) in 9 hours , but a very high item count: Items transferred 246.150

With old v2.0 the data transferred was very similar, but the item count in the range of 4.000 - 10.000 every day

Please let me know if this is a know issue or if I have to open a support ticket with logs

Many thanks, ciao

Hi Marco,

Can u double check the "Terminate the job if it exceeds allowed backup windows" thickbox is not enabled (as explained in https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo36 ... tml?ver=30)? If this isn't the case, it might be best to contact support and have an insight into what is happening.

Obviously is enabled... the point is that after upgrade to v3 the Item Processed count multiplied by 20x :-/

Oh, I thought that was your issue . My bad. v3 introduced a change in regards to OneDrive and SharePoint backups which may explain this behavior but feel free to contact support so they can confirm this or not.

Marco,

Yes, Niels is right. Please log the support case ID here so we can follow-up, and let us know what the result of the investigation is.

Thanks

Hello, any update on it ? Also planning to update to v3.

[Mike Resseler]

Hey Sanch,

I haven't received the support case ID so I can't tell what the outcome is. I noticed you had another thread also. Could you do that first and see if there are anymore issues?

Thanks
Mike

I've just waited some days and the Item Counts and time to backup returned to normal values. It seems to me that VBO re-read all mail items already backupped after upgrade to v3 :-/

We do optimize the database but the behavior is new (at least, new to me). You're still welcome to contact support if you want an extra check/pair of eyes.

[Mike Resseler]

As far as I know it shouldn't... Did you make any adjustments to the retention?

On the first job run after the upgrade, VBO performs a full backup to ensure data consistency. It doesn't transfer the data which is already stored in a repository, but the item count reflects how many items were "accessed"/"checked" during this full. The next run is incremental and the count must get back to normal.

Ok this seems to be my case... in my small company the Full Backup took about 1 week (about 7 mailboxes active , and some inactive) with a 100 / 20 Mbit connection and an old Server where I've installed VBO v3

I have to check with a bigger customer

Marco,

As Mike suggested above, it's worth to let our support engineers check your connection and setup and see if there's a chance to enhance the performance in your infrastructure. But in general, the more items are being processed, the more time it takes.
