Hyper-V VMs get hosed after backup
"Hosed" being the technical term.
It seems that after either/or of 2 VMs on the host machine, after a backup, cannot start. It also appears that Backup Exec creates snapshots that don't get re-absorbed into the parent virtual disk.
So I'll end up with a series of .avhdx's, and if I try to start that VM, it'll tell me there's an ID mismatch in the chain of virtual disks. Pretty much every single time after a backup. The exact error is:
'VSERVER' failed to start.
Synthetic SCSI controller (Instance ID XXXXX): Failed to Power on with Error 'The chain of virtual hard disks is corrupted. There is a mismatch in the identifiers of the parent virtual hard disk and differencing disk'.
There is a fix, using the Set-VHD command, but I can't keep doing that over and over again.
Additionally, I'll get this error from Backup Exec itself: V-79-40960-38691 - Backup Exec cannot create a recovery checkpoint for the 'VSERVER' virtual machine. (Note: "Use snapshot technology" is checked).
Any ideas where I can start looking to fix this?
Backup Exec version 21.4, 1200.2536, Windows Server 2019
Thanks!
