Proxmox Veeam B&R recognize moved VM within a cluster?

[liwicom]

Hi all,

We are currently testing Proxmox 12.2 on a test cluster with three nodes. We've encountered an issue where, if we move a VM within the same cluster from one node to another, the backup fails because the configuration file cannot be found.

Our setup uses ZFS, and we replicate VMs for failover and load distribution.

Is there any plan for the Proxmox V2 plugin to allow Veeam to recognize a moved VM within a cluster when not using shared storage, similar to how it works when backing up a VM with VMware and vCenter Server?

Thanks for your efforts,


Andreas

Hi everybody,

In my test, the time between backups was too short when I moved the VM. However, after rescanning the Proxmox nodes in the backup infrastructure, Veeam Backup & Replication updates the VM's location, and the backup completes successfully.

I believe this location update happens periodically, so everything is fine—Veeam does track where the VM is located; it just needs a bit of time to do so.

Thanks, everyone, for your efforts!

For future reference, automatic infrastructure rescan happens every 15 minutes.
