On Restore of a Configuration backup , all the jobs started running Full backups in Veeam in folders with _1 in the same directory
Per this
“If a new backup set is created, but the folder containing the original backup set is not moved, deleted, or renamed, new backup files will be stored in a folder named <job name>_1.”
For some reason the backups were ignoring their existing backup sets and starting new ones filling up the drives and creating new VBK Files to resolve this
- Stop all the backups running
- Delete all the new folders on your Backup Location that were created with _1 , important : ( Check the Created Date as some of the _1 might be old backups )
- Go to Backup Infrastructure , Backup Respositories , and run a rescan on all the repository that will clear these in ( Disk Imported )
- Now go to each job , edit the properties, Go to Storage , Backup Repository , and click Map Backup and choose the correct Repository for each job
Run a backup again and make sure it’s creating a file into the existing folder
