Calculating digests

[dwrice0]

Under what conditions are new digests required to be re-calculated for a replication job after the initial seed is mapped to the source VM? I believe changing VMDK size on the source VM is one. But are their others?

Any scenario where Veeam B&R cannot use/trust digests calculated previously - changing the disk size is one of them, changing the repository storing replica metadata is another one. Here's another existing discussion with additional details. Thanks!

What about if the repository storing replica metadata runs out of space? Had a scenario where some replicas recalculated digests and the only environmental event that I can correlate it to was the repository storing replica metadata ran out of space. I'm assuming that probably caused some metadata corruption of some kind?

If the job couldn't save/update metadata correctly, I guess this could be the cause.
