To learn which VMs were processed by a snapshot job a snapshot-only job or a backup job with storage snapshot retention open the Storage Infrastructure view and navigate to the necessary storage snapshot. The freeze-only VMs those VMs for which a VMware snapshot was not created are processed in successive order after creating storage snapshots for the other VMs. Cleaning up Veeam temporary snapshotsĪ VM is freeze-only if it meets these conditions. Keep in mind that by doing this you are setting the backup repository for the whole job, not just for the VM you've selected. Choose the backup repository from the drop-down list.
To do so, after you've selected the Enable application-aware processing check box, click Applications. If you are going to process logs, set a repository for storing them. For more information on advanced settings, see Specify Advanced Backup Settings. If you want to additionally create storage snapshots on the secondary storage array, select the Configure secondary destinations for this job check box.įor example, you can configure the backup job to maintain 14 snapshots on the primary NetApp storage system and 10 snapshots of QTree directories on NetApp SnapMirror. Mind that the number of snapshots in the snapshot chain on the primary storage array cannot be fewer than 1. In the Retention policy field, specify the number of storage snapshots that you want to maintain in the snapshot chain on the primary storage array.
You can use snapshot-only jobs to create a chain of storage snapshots on the primary storage array and, optionally, on the secondary storage array.
