Feature Request: Return warning (not failure) when excluded VM is removed from cluster

[mikeely]

We did a bunch of cleanup to our ESX clusters yesterday and one of the VMs removed was on the exclude list for a backup job. This job then returned failure, complaining about the missing VM. My personal belief is that if the VM was excluded from a backup run but no longer exists Veeam should warn but not mark the backup job as failed.

Thoughts?

Hi Mike,

Sounds legit. I will discuss that behavior with QA.

/Thanks!

Greetings, Mike.

I have ran some tests of your case and could not reproduce it - job ends green like normal, with information message in the log about excludes, even if excluded VMs are not present in virtual infrastructure anymore.
Which VBR build are you running in your infrastructure and can you please specify exact error message text?

/Thanks!
