Continue existing backup chain with new HW

[MVanek]

Hi,
I wonder if there is a possibility to let veeam to continue existing backup chain, when I move HDD from failed machine to new one (same HW).
Everything looks fine, rescan is successful and veeam can "see" the agent computer. But when I try to map it to new job (old one reported nothing to process), veeam performs new full.
Maybe I just missing something. I know with VMs there are MOREF IDs....I suppose agent backup works with similiar fashion.
Thanks for help

Hi Martin,
Yes it is expected behavior. MoRefID in Virtual world and BIOS UUID in physical behave similar - new motherboard has different UUID(even if HDD is still the same), thus agent is treated as 100% new. You can double-proof that with cmd -> wmic -> csproduct.
/Thanks!

Thank you!
