[Feature Request] Increase resoruces custom tags limit from 5 to more.

Post by alen88 »

Hi,

We have a customer running the latest version of Veeam Backup for Azure. Their Azure tenant has a top-level Deny policy that requires 11 mandatory tags on every resource at creation time. If a resource is created without all 11 required tags, Azure denies the create operation outright.

The "Custom tags" setting in VBA snapshot rules is currently limited to 5 tags. This means VBA cannot supply all 11 tags that the customers Deny policy mandates. As a result, when VBA attempts to create a snapshot, the Azure Deny policy blocks the create operation because the required tags are missing, and the snapshot (and therefore the backup) fails. We temporary exempt RG from policy, but security guys are not happy :/

Is there any chance to expanding that limitation from 5 to greater number?

Thank you.

Hi Alen,

But if they have 11 tags mandatory, aren't those already at the source and so they could copy the source tags to have 11 tags or more?
