Hello everyone!
Help me to remember:
On v12 shouldn't I be able to run an active full separately by VM?
I right click on VM but nothing happens.
Obs.: My repository is setup per machine backup files.

Interesting!
I haven't seen that point yet.
Now I upgrade my backup chain here. However, only after runed my backup job again enables the possibility to run the active full separately.

You have to upgrade your Backup Chain befor it works
So it’s a thing related to v12 upgrade? Nice to know.
Hello
You can perform active full backup for individual workloads only if their backups are true per-machine.
To perform active full backup for individual workloads:
Have you updated them to v12 per VM backups? Aka you have metadata per VM instead of per job, otherwise you can’t.
Checking on User Guide it says:
Such way of storing backups is more efficient than single storage. However Veeam Backup & Replication cannot perform some operations with individual workloads. These operations include moving backups, launching active full for individual workloads and so on.
It’s not a way of storing I usually use, so I had to check… but it seems it because of that.
