Step 2. Adjust Snapshot Age/Size Thresholds

For Hyper-V VM replicas created with replication jobs, Veeam Backup & Replication produces a full replica and a chain of checkpoints. The Veeam Hyper-V: VM Checkpoint Analysis monitor was not designed to be triggered for checkpoints produced during replica creation, and will fire alerts for Hyper-V VM replicas.

To eliminate such alerts, the Veeam Hyper-V Required Overrides MP includes an override that allows you to disable the Veeam HyperV: VM Checkpoint Analysis monitor for the Veeam Backup and Replication replica VMs (Hyper-V) group. This group has dynamic membership and includes all VMs that have the replica suffix appended to the VM display name (this is the default suffix used in replication jobs).

For VMs with a large number of disk writes, the checkpoints can grow large and also cause the Veeam HyperV: VM Checkpoint Analysis monitor to trigger repetitive alerts. To eliminate alerts for such VMs, you can disable the monitor for the Veeam Backup and Replication replica VMs (Hyper-V) group: use a non-default suffix for your replicas to either modify the group membership rule to use your chosen suffix, or explicitly add your replica VMs to the group.
