Before You Begin

Before you create a backup job, consider the following limitations:

• You can back up each VM with one backup job at a time. If a VM is already being processed by a backup job, another backup job will not start processing this VM until the currently running backup operation completes.

• You cannot back up a VM being restored. Wait for the restore process to complete, and then start the backup job.

• You cannot back up Scale Computing HyperCore objects that are not considered VMs.
• You cannot back up VMs with the same BIOS UUID.

• By default, Veeam Plug-in for Scale Computing HyperCore enables deduplication for backed-up data. Due to technical limitations, you cannot disable it while configuring backup jobs.

• By default, backup encryption is disabled for backed-up data. However, you can enable encryption at the repository level as described in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section Access Permissions.
• VM guest OS file indexing is not supported for backups created with Veeam Plug-in for Scale Computing HyperCore.

• Since Veeam Backup & Replication does not allow you to assign information about locations to the Scale Computing HyperCore cluster and workers, job statistics do not include information on the Scale Computing HyperCore VM data migration between different geographic regions.
• You cannot back up VM disks that do not allow snapshot creation.
