Renaming VMs

[TitaniumCoder477]

We used a VMware replica job to migrate some VMs from one host to another. I would like to remove the "_replica" suffix, but historically I seem to remember VMware backup jobs treating the VM as an entirely new VM after renaming, thus taking a new full backup of it. Is this still the case? Will the VMware backup job see these as new VMs post renaming and take a new full backup of each? Thanks

If the MOREF ID remains the same after you rename it, then the backup job pointing at them should continue, but if this changes, then it will run a full at the next backup. See this forum post about this - vmware-vsphere-f24/rename-virtual-machi ... 16005.html
