# 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.
