One day….one day it will be a reality. Congrats on your deserved milestone.
Looking forward to it.
Just an update to this case. I opened a support case with Veeam support. I worked through all the settings with the support engineer and we solved the issue.The issue was in fact the Over-Ride policy on the capacity tier. The wording on the “Offload until used space is below” confused me. I had it set at 10% thinking that if I only have 10% left then offload, but it should be the other way around. I changed it to 90% and that seems to have solved my retention issues.It took the Support Engineer a few reads to think about it properly as well. Just the way it was worded seems to be backwards compared to other areas of IT. Most things are about remaining space, not used space.Anyway, seems to be working as expected now.
I am quite certain that we are no where near the capacity of the Performance Tier. The performance tier is 18.5 TB is space, there is right now 8.3TB available.Currently I am backing up 3 servers (2 DCs and an Exchange with no mail stores that is used for O365 management). The current in the extent is 81GB (1 full and 2 incs for each server).I have a lot of space on that drive, I am nowhere near capacity on it. My AWS load is 360GB and that is 5 Fulls and 4 rounds of incs.Actually, now that I physically look at the folder on the drive, I do see some interesting stuff. Perhaps I will open a support ticket.
I have the Override setup at 10%. I have almost 50% capacity left, so that should not cause this I would think.I am the only Admin that actively manages the environment.@Chris.Childerhose, I am not sure what other information that you would like to see.As indicated in the Backup Job settings30 Days Retention Advanced → Forward Incremental (no synthetic). Weekly Active Fulls on Sunday There are no Maintenance tasks setup under AdvancedSOBR SettingsPerformance Tier - 1 extent Placement Policy - Data Locality Capacity Tier - Copy and Move selected, move is older than 14 days (operational restore window). The way I understand this, I will have 14 days worth of backups in my Performance tier? Archive Tier - not used.As I am doing weekly Active Full backups, that will seal off the previous weeks chain, does that then make that chain inactive and thus slates it for purge on the Performance Tier? I would assume that my operational restore window of 14 days would then be what allows me to e
