Datastore has 80GB free. One machine currently running that's 2.7TB.
The first time it ran it failed. Then i unchecked "Skip VM notifications when free space if below"
It got to 4% then i canceled it because i was worried it would power down the VM.
My question is if I place a 2TB drive in there for an extra datastore will Veeam or the Hpyer know to store the snapshots there?
Is there somewhere in Veeam i can tell it to store the snapshots on a specific datastore?

Re: Space Question
Hello,
and welcome to the forums.
The question is where the hypervisor puts the snapshots. Veeam just requests "do a snapshot". The hypervisor then decides where to put it. Tests can be done by creating a snapshot directly in the hypervisor without Veeam
For VMware, I found this KB article: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1002929
Yes, I would expand the datastore and ensure that there is enough space.
Best regards,
Hannes
