If the answer is obvious and I don’t see it: sorry for my question!

In a large customer setup, SureBackup is managed by script (cusomized: https://www.virtualtothecore.com/can-test-1000-vms-veeam-surebackup/). So VMs are dynamically added by a Application Group. For a long time, we put just one VM into the group. SureBackup jobs failed when this VM failed - most often because of timeout. Now we increased to two VMs per run. Now I see job is skipping second VM when first VM fails.

 

My question: Is this a designed behavior with Application Groups? Did not find the answer in the helpcenter.

 

Thanks all for the insight. For sure AG is one of the fragile components of Veeam. 

Reading the documentation it's really not so clear … I've found some topics in the forum about this: https://forums.veeam.com/post249051.html?hilit=Application%20group%20fails#p249051

Whilst the wording could be clearer it is implied here. Though I believe this should be expanded on to clarify this! As a Linked Job has a dependency on the application group it makes sense that if a test fails for an application group VM your job would fail.

Hi @vNote42 Yes it is; as soon as a test fails the whole application groups stops.

Thanks for the fast response! Do you maybe have a link to documentation?
