Backup chain continuity after AsyncDR migration between Nutanix clusters

[rin]

Hello,

I was reviewing the following discussion:

Feature Request: Preserve Backup Chain After Nutanix DR Cross-Cluster Migration
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=103373&start=0Skipped

Based on the discussion, my understanding is that backup chain preservation is currently not supported for Nutanix cross-cluster failover/migration scenarios, and this is considered a known gap that may be addressed in a future release.

I also found the following statement from the release notes:
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/rn/veeam_b ... notes.html

"cross-cluster migration will result in loss of protection for a given VM"
and
"If included in the protected category, a new backup chain will be created."

Therefore, I believe that preserving the existing backup chain is currently not supported for Cross Cluster Live Migration (CCLM).

However, I am not sure whether the same limitation applies to AsyncDR.

Could you please clarify whether AsyncDR is also expected to create a new backup chain, or if an existing backup chain can be continued after an AsyncDR migration/failover?

Also, is there any behavioral difference between V12.3 and V13 regarding this scenario?

Best Regards,
Rin

We identify VM by VM-UUID + Cluster-UUID. That means any migration to another cluster will create a new chain (machine is new for our software)

Thanks for the clarification.
This answers my question perfectly. Much appreciated!
