Veaem Backups Not Reconnecting after VBR Reboot

[atg]

Hello, all.
I just wanted to confirm that the behavior I have been seeing with our VBR where if the VBR server reboots, backups have be to started all over again.
Is that expected behavior?

Thanks,
David

Hi David,

Automatic retries will not be triggered if the backup server is rebooted. I assume that in your case jobs are running according to its regular schedule.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot Peter.
Yes, the jobs running on schedule. Even though there is not an automatic retry is there a way for a backup to pick up where it left off if we manually do this? Right now, I feel like we have to start the backup all over again

Hi David, do you mean rebooting the backup server at the time the backup job is running? This is expected in case the backup server is also a proxy or repository server. You can safely reboot the server running Veeam B&R console though, without affecting the running backups.

Hi David,

No, the re-started backup session will read the data from scratch: the whole amount of changed blocks since the previous successful run or will perform full read if active full is scheduled.

Thanks!
