The second time I ran it it failed too.
What's very concerning is before running the backup job, the VM was running just fine. After running it (and it failed), the VM was off with an error that said "snapshot consolidation needed". There were no snapshots, and the VM wouldn't start up. In the end I handed to restore from a backup. The vmx, vmdk, and other files existed on the datastore, but it wouldn't power on.
Wasn't aware that veeam would be able to damage a virtual machine, linux or otherwise. Looks like a snapshot was taken and then it wasn't able to be deleted? Very worried. The problem is over, but I'm still concerned about creating a new backup job to back up this new TIME IPS server.
Any ideas?

Also, still have access to any logs if anyone wants to see them. Again - this is not something that's critical enough to get veeam or VMware involved, but just interested to see what anyone has to suggest.
