Error handling and job retry

I created a single job to backup 20 VMs in Backup Exec 2010 R2

After checking the log, it show the 3 of 20 VMs (i.e 5th, 10th 15th in resource order) failed to backup due to "error: 0xe0009574 - Unable to create a snapshot of the virtual machine. The virtual machine may be too busy to quiesce to take the snapshot."

Now I'm trying to set a "Error-Handling Rules" to retry the backup based on this error code, but I just wonder, this retry option is for the whole job (20 VMs) or failed selections only (5th, 10th, 15th in the selection list)

Appreicate for your kindly supporting.

  • When you retry the job, it would be for all the VM's, not just the failed VM's.

    I think 20 VM's is a little bit too much for one job.  You should break the job up to several smaller jobs, so that it is easier to re-run the jobs.  Otherwise, just create a one-time job to backup the failed VM's
