Backup VM using volume groups: no expiration date for Recovery Points?

[PAP400]

Hello evb,

I have a couple of VM that use "Volume Groups" as storage.

A daily classic Veeam Backup Job create a VM snapshot, but also its Volume Group Recovery Point.
While the VM snapshot is automatically deleted and only the last one remains, the "Volume Group Recovery Point" is created without an expiration date and therefore it remains on storage pool for 60 days (fortunately AOS marks them to last for 60 days since 5.18)

I know that
"...Veeam Backup & Replication takes VG snapshots only if the backup scope includes individual virtual machines with volume groups attached...."
"...VG snapshots allow Veeam Backup & Replication to use the CBT mechanism while creating backups and to restore VMs with volume groups..."
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbahv ... lume&ver=8
and that is my case.

VG RP space amount is now almost 6TB (the 2 VM only use 1,3TB): is possible to let Veeam give an expiration day to these VG Recovery Points?

Thank you.

PAP

@PAP400 I did a cursory check and I seem to be able to reproduce the behavior where snapshots are retained until default expiry like you mention. Would you mind going ahead and opening a case as I do not believe this is the expected behavior
