selection logic with storage snapshot

Post by stgepopp »

Hi all,

is there a white paper or other information available to understand and explain the logic used with storage snapshots:
- one or more VMs on the same datastore
- one or more VMs on different datastores
- VMs with vDisks on different datastores

thanks and regards

Erich

This is from the Veeam help site on storage snapshots and integration hopefully this helps you out - https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=110

Hi Erich, do you have any particular questions? The processing of multiple VMs on the same volume (the first scenario you're referring to) is covered in this user guide section. As for the two other scenarios, then the logic is pretty much similar - snapshots are created for all the volumes involved in the job.

Main point is that Veeam processes VMs in the Job not storage volumes. So we research what volumes need to be brought into snapshot stage based on all vDisks of the selected VMs.
