deleting recovery point from local archive while copying to online storage
Hi,
I have a 230 GB size VM being backup to local disk (VM appliance) and being copied to Online storage. The schedule is everyday. Since there was a problem with the archive on the online storage, the archive on the online storage had been deleted. Therefore, I had to copy all 250 GB (the archive size is about 250 GB including about 29 recovery points) back to online storage. To do this, I executed the "copy to online" task manually and it took about 4 days to finish the copy. While VMP9 was copying from the local archive to online, I saw the scheduled backup task was executed (once a day). As the scheduled task executed, it deleted old recovery points from the local archive (as schedule set). However, the "copy to online" wasn't finished, yet. After the "copy to online" finished, I compared the recovery points in the Local archive and Online, the 4 deleted recovery points in local archive were exist in Online's archive. Here my questions:
- Since 4 of the oldest recovery points were deleted from local archive while they were being copied to online, will the online archive be good?
- how does VMP9 handle this?
Thanks,
Aldous
