Feature request: Unable to do a SQL log backup when a instance has the same name

[EricDJ]

We have one Hyper-V enviroment with multiple domains. Here we have 2 SQL VM clusters with VHD-set shared drives. Therefore we must use Veeam backup agent to perform the backup.
We are using one backup server with one central database to perform all backups.
VBR sees this SQL servers as the same instance. We have Server1.domainA.com\clu1 and Server1.domainB.com\clu1, looks like VBR don't see the domain suffix.
When we want to perform a SQL log backup, VBR sees a conflict that the log backup is already performed. There is no problem when the backup is performed seperately.
Therefore we had no other choice than install a second backup server with his own database to do this backup without errors.
This gave us a design problem, because we want to replicate all backup to a secondary location and write it to tape.
Hope this can be solved, so we can correct our design.

Hi Eric,

I've reviewed the support case and I see that some enhancements in this area are already planned for future releases.
I'm going to clarify details and will update the thread as soon as I have more information.

Thanks!

Nice to know. We are moving from backup islands to a central Veeam solution in a multi-forest environment. We will need to take into account this.

@EricDJ Just to confirm: we've noted the feature request based on your support case but I cannot comment on ETA because we didn't decide yet on priority of this functionality.

Thanks!

This would be a welcome addition for our DBAs!

Hi Eric,

It's on our radar but we have no enough requests for it, therefore I still have no information about ETA.

Thanks!
