We are running SPVE 8.1.13.3 and we are using tag based backups. We have one schedule with 4 datamover nodes associated with it. The schedule is using the asnodename option which causes all VMs to be backed up with the same node name.
Our daily backup schedule is defined with the following options:
Options: -VMBACKUPTYPE=FULLVM -ASNODENAME=VCENTER1 -DOMAIN.VMFULL="SCHEDULE-TAG" -MODE=IFINCR
There are about 75 VMs tagged for each datamover.
Occasionally, a VM is being backed up and it takes more than 24 hours to complete. When this happens, the schedule assigned to the datamover for that VM is missed the next night; therefore, 74 VMs miss their backup.
What options do I have to allow the long running backup to complete but ensure the other VMs assigned to that datamover don't miss their scheduled backup the next night?
