Hi Colin,
It's very strange. as a test yesterday I set my backups to only the guest VM's and nothing from the host. I have come in this morning and the job is still running on backing up my last VM. it says it is running but clearly it is not. the RDX cartridge is full and it has not deleted last weeks back up but has also not thrown an error so it's basically just sitting there doing nothing but thinking it is. screen shot attached. I have sat watching that screen do nothing since 9:00. there is litteraly now data transfer taking place on that RDX now now.
What I might try is wiping out tomorrows backup tape completely (is there a best practise for this? or do I just use erase tape function in BE) and seeing what that does tonight.
I am running BE 15 FP3 but this started happening before FP3 was installed (hoping it would resolve my issue maybe).
@beyond-done after tonights test I will try and swap the order the VM's in the backup job and see what happens for me.
If you can you should try and create another VHD for you file server. something incidental like 500mb and see if then it backup up everything but that final test VHD. not a solution but interesting proff of concept.
