Per VM backup not selected

[amarosilva]

Hi,

We've recently migrated to a Scale-out Repository using Wasabi and been happy with it so far but on our last full active backup the backup chain decided to move to a per vm backup file...

Nothing changed on our performance tier and 'per vm backup file' has never been selected.

Any ideas why this might have a happened? I know I will have to do a full active again but considering the option has never been ticked I am not sure this will resolve it.

Any guidance welcome.

Thanks

Amaro

Hi Amaro

Per-VM Backup Chain is the default setting in the sobr performance tier properties.
Can you check it for us? I am sure, it's enabled.
Add Performance Extents

Veeam automatically switched to per-vm backup chain when your active full was scheduled.
Per VM Backup Chain will be the new default with Veeam V12.

You are quite right, it is enabled under advanced in the SOBR. This obviously overrides whatever is set at the repository level.



I don't think I checked the advanced options when adding the performance tier and this only took effect as the new full active happened.

I guess I will have 2 backup chains for a little bit...

Thanks for helping.
