Use the vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI) where available. See the corresponding setting on the schedule tab of the job wizard. Leveraging the backup window functionality can keep long-running jobs from running during production. When possible, schedule backups and replication jobs during periods of low activity. Leveraging backup by datastore can be useful in this scenario.Ĭonsider snapshot impact during job scheduling. Keep this in mind when designing datastores, deploying VMs and creating backup and replication schedules. Multiple open snapshots on the same datastore are sometimes unavoidable, but the cumulative effect can be bad. Minimize the number of open snapshots per datastore. Upgrade to vSphere 6u1 or newer to use the new storage vMotion based snapshot commit processing.To mitigate the impact of snapshots, consider the following recommendations: Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication.This behavior can be changed by creating the following registry key: The default number of concurrently open snapshots per datastore in Veeam Backup & Replication is 4. The best practice is to keep the default settings wherever possible, so adjust settings only where necessary. Please read the Supplemental - vSphere - Interaction section to understand more details on the background of these configuration settings.
