periodic active fulls dont run

[FBraendle]

Hi Guys

I got a question regarding job scheduling & periodic active fulls
I searched the forum but couldnt find a similar topic.

my setup looks like this:
i split up the VMs into 30+ jobs and configured 4 jobs to run daily around 19:00. all the other jobs are chained to those 4 jobs via "run automatically after this job"
all the jobs are configured to run weekly periodic active fulls(for now, because we got performance problems with the synthetics which we have to solve before activating them)

The jobs run fine, one after another, 4 in parallel. The problem is, no active fulls are written. Instead veeam creates normal incrementals.


i thought before i fumble around with the job settings ill ask around here. it might be a known issue...

BTW: is there an option to run synthetic fulls on demand? via PS or whatever?
would make testing easier

Yep, it’s possible with PoweShell. For more information regarding it kindly see this post, or more specifically, the part that starts with the following line:

So, if your goal is to run synthetic full manually

Additionally, full backup can be also run on demand:

Code: Select all

$Job = Get-VBRJob | ?{$_.name -eq "Name of your job"}
Start-VBRJob $Job -FullBackup

Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Felix, most likely, chained jobs are started on the next day (not the one the active full is scheduled to be performed at), due to the time required to run earlier jobs. This is typical for chaining jobs so if you want to limit the load on the infrastructure, you'd better limit tasks concurrency on the proxy (or the repository) and let all the jobs start together.
