I'm trying to set up backup job retries in Veeam Backup & Replication to automatically retry failed jobs a specific number of times. Could anyone guide me on how to configure this and suggest best practices for retry intervals?

Hi @sajjad ali, this is done by default. For sure you can also adjust this setting.
Also take a look under Job Retry - User Guide for VMware vSphere for more details.

See below screenshot:
 

 

Keep in mind: 
 


And: only errors are getting an automatic retry, warnings will never trigger a retry.

@sajjad ali ,

 

Just to complement the answer above, you can adjust the retry for File Backup Jobs and agent jobs as well.
