Step 2. Adjust Snapshot Age/Size Thresholds for VM Replicas

For VMware VM replicas created with replication jobs, Veeam Backup & Replication maintains a chain of snapshots, where each snapshot serves as a restore point. In case the chain includes large and/or old snapshots, the Veeam VMware: Virtual Machine Snapshot Usage Analysis monitor can trigger repetitive alerts for VMware VM replicas. To eliminate such alerts, the monitor is disabled by default for all VMs in the Veeam Backup and Replication replica VMs (VMware) group.

However, if necessary you can enable the Veeam VMware: Virtual Machine Snapshot Usage Analysis monitor for specific VM replicas.
