Guys
I am migrating my VMs from an old cluster to a new one. NO problem so far - 7 out of 8 VMs moved. Veeam continues to back them up. Great stuff.
The last one has a large VHDX drive - 4Tb
What will happen when the backup job tries to back that up whilst Hyper-V manager is moving the machine? With the old (1Gb) NICs in the source cluster this might take a while to copy (7h ish).
Does the backup job just fail (becasue the machine won’t quiesce, or perhaps because there is already a snapshot created by the move process) or will it get stuck in some horrible sort of a loop and eat up all the storage on the cluster with checkpoint files?
I ask because, back in the day (when I was new to Veeam), I did try to backup a machine that was the target of DFS-R and the results weren’t pretty. I realise this is a different scenario but I just want to be sure!
