Snapshot on backup section

[matteu]

Hello,

Is it normal on the Home -> Backup I can see disk / disk (copy) / ... AND snapshot ?
I didn't configure something special to get snapshot here and I can see I have 1 snapshot on all my VMs too. When backup job runs, it create new snapshot, remove the previous one and on Veeam side I also see this and I have 1 restore point snapshot.

Is it expected ?

I guess it's what's mentioned here : https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/u ... tml?ver=13 and https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/u ... tml?ver=13
That means with AHV 1 snapshot is done but never removed on the backup process right ?

Because on vsphere documentation here : https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/u ... tml?ver=13
It's clearly mentioned the snapshot is removed at the end of the process : "After the backup proxy finishes reading VM data, Veeam Backup & Replication requests the vCenter Server or ESXi host to commit the VM snapshot."

@matteu yes bonus RPO . We do expose the rolling backup snapshot as another restore point as well as any other VM snapshots created on the AHV cluster. A second snapshot is created on each backup job run for CBT calculation and then the prior snapshot is deleted so that the one you're seeing is always the one from the last job run

Glad to see I was correct here .
Thanks for your answer !

I have one more question about it

I manually removed the snapshot in 1 VM because I don't want it to be snapshot and then I excluded it from specific backup job.
How can I "remove" it now from the "snapshot" tab for this specific VM ?
I tried to rescan the prism central entity but it doesn't do anything on the Snapshot tab and when I click on it and select the specific VM there is no option like "remove from configuration".

Correct we don't implement any manual snapshot deletion in our UI. 3rd party backup snapshots aren't visible in the Prism Element VM view but can be removed from Prism Central -> Data Protection -> VM Recovery Points

I mean, I removed them from Prism Central but they are still present in the VBR console -> Snapshot while they don't exist anymore on prism central.
