MAJ 11/04/2011 : La version 5.0.2.230 annule et remplace la version buggée
La version 5.0.2.224 de Veeam Backup & Replication est sortie le 1er avril mais ce n’est pas pour cela qu’elle contient un bug lié à la nouvelle feature “Deleted VMs retention period” qui a pour effet de supprimer tous vos restore points vieux de plus de 14j :
New “Deleted VMs retention period” feature is behaving incorrectly, causing backup files older than specified amount of days to be deleted even if they contain VMs which had not been deleted from infrastructure.
Le workaround ainsi que les détails sont dispo sur le forum de Veeam.
Voici l’extrait de cette feature qui reste néanmoins très intéressante (quand le problème sera réglé) :
Automated retention for removed and deleted VMs. Data belonging to removed or deleted VMs will now be automatically cleaned up from backup files according to new UI retention setting in days. Previously, it was necessary to remove such VMs from backup manually to explicitly confirm that VM data is no longer needed.
