We have been using Veeam Backup and Replication 5.0.0.179 to backup smaller VMs from our ESXi 4 environments to other Windows servers in our LAN. It is being used by Veeam Backup.", memory "False", quiesce "False"įile is larger than the maximum size supported by datastore ' I tried backing up this VM and I receive the following error.īackup mode: HOTADD/NBD without changed block trackingĬreateSnapshot failed, vmRef "208", timeout "1800000", snName "VEEAM BACKUP TEMPORARY SNAPSHOT", snDescription "Please do not delete this snapshot. I have a feeling that the following error I am getting on Veeam Backup & Replication is due to this? I now realize that the total size of the OS hard disk will not exceed something like 250GB due to this 1MB cache size limitation on the datastore (called "Second Mirror). I have an SBS 2008 VM on a datastore that has a block size of something small (i think it was 1MB), this was created inadvertently. Thanks for making such an easy to use product!īefore explaining my problem, I will give you a breif overview. OK, problem solved, and the job now runs just fine.Ĭan now use this as a "planning tool" to calculate space required, based on the number of backups I want to retain. (Not a big deal, as it is only a test server, in the first place.) In this case, I modified the job, and took it from the default of 14, back to 13.
The error said I didn't have enough space to do this job, within the retention policy. Irregardless, I went into the job properties, checked the space, and saw this error. Had I done this in the first place, I would have prevented the error. The issue is that there is an option to "check space" when you are setting up the job properties. OK, I resolved my own issue, before I could complete this post, but including it for completeness. Target datastore: 1.82 TB, 8 MB block size VM disk 4 (Data): 512 GB datastore: same as VM disk 2 VM disk 3 (Data): 512 GB datastore: same as VM disk 2 VM disk 2 (Data): 512 GB datastore: 1.82 TB, 8 MB block size
VM disk1 (System): 80 GB datastore: 183 GB, 1 MB block size
His problem was something with block size, so I'll share the details about the particular VM and datastores giving an error (others are backing up just fine so far). But, I am getting the same error message as the original poster.
