Hello.
We have Veeam 4a.
Is there a way to run manual optimization or manual merge?
We have restrictions to run backups during the day, but the night is not enough. I need to find a way to split the optimization and merge processes from the backup.

Thank you

Hello,
Have you checked Veeam ONE heatmaps and assessment reports?
Thanks

The Backup Files Health Check operation is scheduled at the end of the configured jobs run.
The problem is that the Health Check operation can take a very long time (maybe full day) on larger jobs which then might disrupt the next scheduled job run.

Wouldn't it be better to let that operation run as a background job? Any fault found can be corrected at the next opportunity.
As it is today, all the backups in the same job miss the backup schedule if the job takes too long time to finish.

Synthetic full is even worse, it can take three full days to finish on the largest job (50TB, ReFS+Dedup) and on a weekly schedule that catastrophic long time.
During that time no incremental backups are running on the job.

Hi Dejan, merging your request since it seems somewhat related to the ones discussed above. Btw, is your ReFS repository FastClone enabled?
