Multiple folders for replica

[athome]

Hi!

I've noticed that sometimes for replica of some servers I on the target filesystem(NFS) get multiple folders. ie:

servername_replica
servername_replica_1
servername_replica_2
servername_replica_3

What is the reason for this?

Hi Anders,

The only thing that comes to my mind is that you've already had these folders left by a previous job before creating a new one. Could this be the case?

Thanks!

Well.. If I had a previous job running.. I would have deleted the backup from VBR-console.. I'll check the dates on the folder.. I'm pretty sure they have modified date for the last occurencies of the replicajob...

Hi all,
i noted that for some of VM replicated with a job i have a second VM in inventory named myVM_replica_1. Browsing the target datastore i find two folder myvm_replica and myvm_replica_1.
In my job i have only the source named myvm.
Could you tell me why veeam replication has douplicated the target vm? How i can consolidate them in a sigle target .

Many thanks

regards

Another reason could be if the original VM ID has changed due to some reason (it was re-registered in vCenter, for example) but still picked up by the job (in case of replicating the whole container).
