Quick Backup

[sheath777]

When performing a Quick Backup is there a way to select a particular job? The documentation I found said it automatically selects the job with the most recent restore point of the VM(s). If not then I'd like to make this a feature request. Thanks.

Hi,

May I ask you about the reason of having more than one backup job per VM in your case?

Thanks

Due to hardware limitations (RAM on the physical device hosting the offsite storage) I cannot use Backup Copy jobs since they frequently fail, but when I do another Full backup job to the offsite storage it uses far less RAM and works fine. In the rare instance I need to perform a Quick Backup I'd like to be able to select the correct job.

Ok, that makes sense, however I'm curious how did you determine that backup copy was failing due to the shortage of RAM, had you contacted support team on that matter?

The VeeamAgent.exe processes were using over 1.5GB of RAM each during a Backup Copy, but during a regular Full Backup they use about 250MB each. Since Backup Copy jobs are basically creating a synthetic backup I figured they would require much more RAM and that it wasn't really an "issue" that support should be contacted about. I'd really rather do a Backup Copy but I can't get any new hardware or additional RAM for it at the moment. I do plan on moving to Backup Copy jobs ASAP, but for those poor souls finding themselves in this situation, being able to select between jobs when performing a Quick Backup would still be a nice feature.

As you are entitled to leverage support, I'd give it a try anyway, maybe there's something that can be improved or fixed without requiring new hardware. Worth a try.
