Known Issues and Limitations (Veeam Backup & Replication)
Backup File Names
Veeam allows a backup job to have different backup and retention policies. For certain configuration types such as, Synthetic Full Backup or Forever Forward Incremental Backup Retention Policy, one of the *.vib files is renamed as *.vbk at regular intervals by Veeam. In APTARE IT Analytics, the Veeam Data Collector retrieves backup information for a specified period of time at regular intervals. This set of backup information may contain file names with a *.vib extension (instead of *.vbk) and display in the Job Details report.
For details about the various use cases, see https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/backup_files.html?ver=95.
As you compare APTARE IT Analytics reports to native Veeam reports, if there are discrepancies in the files, you can force a historic data collection to examine the details. Additionally, when validating IT Analytics reports against Veeam reports, focus on the file names and not the file extensions.
Successful Endpoint Backup Jobs Displaying Size = 0.00 Bytes
Occasionally, Veeam will create additional maintenance jobs such as Full backup file merge completed successfully and there is not a data size associated with the job. These jobs will be displayed with a status of Successful but without an associated data size.
Veeam Collection does not support collection of jobs or backup data which are based on VMware Tags.
