Hi,

What is your backup destination? How big is the backup?

Thank you.

[seluton]

Hi,

The backuped data is currently 115TB.

The backup is stored on a Windows Fileserver with Veeam Backup and Replication.

Oh, I see...

The same issue has already occurred before - the only difference is that folks had that problem in a slightly different environment. However, the same thing here and there - the .vbk seems to be way too big for a single job to handle. Let's see what support team will say on that.

Thank you.

.vbk is aprox 100TB and I keep restore points for 42days

Lets wait and see what Tech support sais, thanks for your replies so far.

Hi,

I believe that you need to increase backup blocksize. Please contact support - they should have a workaround to do that. Please note, that if you change the blocksize you'll have to move your old backup chain from repository and start a new one. The old chain will still be usable for restores, though.

Thank you.

Yes, I have done this change now and started a new backup chain need to save my old one for 42 days, 110Tb. But that is life
Veeam has a outstanding support/tech staff, very very professional answers.

I will update here as soon as my ne full backup is done and hopefully succeded.

Just to confirm - is that a single computer you are backing up? What is its raw size and how many disks?

[seluton]

The setup is a 2012 server with 4 drives. System is on a small raid - 185Gb
Then I have 3 data drives, all 3 drives are 58.2Tb (34 Disc´s) so the total space available is 174,6Tb.

[seluton]

The only problem was that I needed to begin a new backup set. But that is done and my first full backup is ongoing.
But I will have to wait untill merge, 42 days from now to see the effect.

Hello Tommy,
I’ve modified your post to avoid people start using this key without understanding why they need it. Let’s leave the distribution to support team. Thanks for the heads up and keep us posted!
