Hi team
Can someone shed some light on this and how best to go about it.
We have Nutanix cluster A and Nutanix cluster B.
VM have been moved from cluster A with Nutanix Move, which creates a new VM on cluster B and syncs data. My guess is that it creates a new UUID
There is an existing backup to a Wasabi Repo from cluster A.
How can I re-create/re-point the backups that are on the repo so that the copied VM on cluster B can continue to use the backups already there?
I am not so sure if there is a remap function for this. I also cannot add vm from the new cluster to the existing job as it only allows me to select existing one. It appears that you select cluster first when creating the job.
My guess is I may have to create a new job and let old one age out?
Remapping backup with AHV?

I haven’t used AHV for a while but as far as I remember you’re right and Veeam uses the UUID of each VM for identification.
If I remember correctly then Nutanix creates new UUIDs with a Nutanix Move since you leave a cluster (to another cluster) and the UUID has something to do with the cluster as well.
You can either work with clusters (select a cluster first, than the VM) or you can work with Nutanix Categories (aka “vSphere Tags for AHV”) - but this is also cluster-based!
I’d go with the most simple approach you already mentioned and - in case you got the repo capacity - let the old backups age out while backing um the moved VM with a new / different job.
Best

+9Hi
I would suggest you to open a support ticket before try to manually change the UUID.
