Veeam slow Vcenter backup

[Badaz52]

Hi,

 

We have just recently upgraded to Veeam version 9 update 1 although this problem existed in version 8 too. When backing up the vcenter VM on reverse incremental the backup job gets to 99% within a reasonable time frame but then it sits at 99% for 4-6 hours before finally saying completed successfully.

 

We do not get this problem with any of our other VMs and I just wondered if anyone else has encountered this problem?

Is this when doing a Synthetic full??

 

We do just plain Incremental here with Synthetic Fulls on Friday and the one periodic Active full a month just for belts and braces.

Need more information on what exactly it is doing, it should tell you in the summary window - I presume it's manipulating the restore points and it's taking time.

 

How big is the resulting vrb (your latest backup is the vbk, I'm interested in the most recent vrb AFTER the job is finished)

 

What's the backup storage target?

 

Do you backup the vCenter via the vCenter or via a direct host connection?

 

How many restore points?

 

What compression/etc settings or default?

 

Does a brand new job on the same VM complete fine suggesting the issue is the backup chain/length etc
