VMware vSphere • Re: Quality of Veeam support is lacking these days

Hi Albert and Randy,
can you please post your support ticket numbers here. Our Support management takes feedback very seriously and adjusts processes and training accordingly. So we are not just ignoring your input but really take action.

Hi Albert,
I am not sure about the details of your VMware DRS issue, but in general each VM will be marked as blocked for vmotion/storage vmotion/DRS before backup and we remove this flag afterwards. So, DRS can not move the VM during backup, which looks like the issue based on what you wrote.
However when we can not set this protection flag, then we ignore and just perform the backup as the backup is more important and it has a higher chance of completion.
The VMware Permissions needed are the following
Global - Disable methods
Global - Enable methods
with a scope of the whole vcenter (otherwise it does not work).
You can check as well in the logs for this entries. If we set them and DRS is still moving VMs ignoring the setting, then it is a bug on the VMware side.
