No GFS candidate for Weekly media set was found for today

[Sarek70]

i have a backup to disk running the following schedule

Mon full backup (Synthetic full)
Tue 7 times incremental (forward) all incrementals starts at 18:00 and the last incremental ends at 22:30
Wed 7 times incremental (forward) all incrementals starts at 18:00 and the last incremental ends at 22:30
Thr 7 times incremental (forward) all incrementals starts at 18:00 and the last incremental ends at 22:30
Fri 7 times incremental (forward) all incrementals starts at 18:00 and the last incremental ends at 22:30
Sat GFS backup

Now i get on saturday the following message on the GFS backup job: 27-10-2018 00:00:19 :: No GFS candidate for Weekly media set was found for today, waiting.

This is the same schedule i user at other customer sites and there it works fine. This customer uses Veeam Backup and Replication 9.5 (build 9.5.0.1536)

Case # 03261276

I have changed the following registry settings on the Veeam B&R server

Code: Select all

MaxSnapshotsPerDatastore 12

Change done for this issue
The default number of concurrently open snapshots per datastore in Veeam Backup & Replication is 4. This behavior can be changed by creating the following registry key:
•Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication 
•Key: MaxSnapshotsPerDatastore 
•Type: REG_DWORD
•Default value: 4

Code: Select all

TapeWaitForActiveStorageTimeoutInHours 0

Description: Specify a value in hours that GFS jobs should wait for the active restore point (locked by the source job). By default GFS job waits for up to 7 days till the lock is released. 
 If the value is 0, GFS job will immediately switch to the previous storage.

the new restore points for up to 24h before failing over to taking the previous restore point. If the value is 0, a GFS job will start at 12AM using an existing restore point.

Hi. Have you restarted Veeam Backup Service after setting these registry keys?
