I've got a VM and Application backup of Exchange following every guideline in the world, all available support articles, all rights are set OK, All config looks fine. Backup and restore works like a charm, Full VM's, Files, Databases and single mail items can be restored from one single vmdk backup. All windows eventlogs are fine (master, media, exchange, cas, clients). Everything looks swell, grand, perfect. No error messages anywhere. But no truncate. Take a look at the bpfis INF (information) entry:
But... I've still got a problem, here's the only evidence I've found is from the BPFIS log on the Exchange Client being backed up: "INF - INF - Exchange Transaction Logs will not be truncated by VSS because this is a pre-VM type backup"
Pre-VM type backup = what is that ? What does it actually refer to? Is my VM's or my policy wrongly configured?
A normal GRT backup via the net/client works fine and clears the transaction logs, but I was hoping to do a vmware backup, with transport type = SAN :-)
Anyone with any idea? Anything is appreciated :-)
