Hello everyone,
My Veeam B&R server is running on a Windows 10 VM and I’m about to migrate it to a Windows Server VM. I’m going to take the opportunity to migrate to PostgreSQL for the backend at the same time. I’m more comfortable with PostgreSQL than SQL Server and it will reduce our licensing costs.
I recently went through a VMWare to Hyper-V migration (thanks to Veeam it was very straightforward).
The downside is that I must maintain the legacy VMWare backups until the end of the retention period and maintain the new Hyper-V backups in parallel. I can’t afford a reset on block tracking or whatever references are maintained for XFS reflink usage.
With a migration to a new server and new database engine, relying only on the Veeam B&R backup .bco file, is there any danger of losing changed block tracking data or resetting the reflink index, triggering a requirement for a full backup?
With thanks,
Simon
