when veeam creates a snapshot for backups/replication, then it does it by doing API-calls to vcenter/vsphere and the hypervisor then creates the snapshot on the vm. I doubt if it's the same for those long-term-retentions for CDP replicas.
I'd like to get some details about that process, is it something that gets "generated" or written by the CDP proxy or is it indeed somthing purely done by the hypervisor through API-calls? The reason I'm asking is that I'm having a strange situation where it (creation of those points) could last between seconds and minutes and I wannt to know which component I have to monitor during the creating. Of course, I know, the way is to open a ticket, but it's never wrong to first check your environment first


Thanks!
