    Scratch other item below it is the following?

    It is not because of this, is it?

     

    File Level Mapping on a Linux VM with LVM Logical volumes starting with a number will fail.

Hi Mnolan

 

I cheked /etc/lvm/lvm.conf file, it is as follows :

 

# To put this file in a different directory and override /etc/lvm set
# the environment variable LVM_SYSTEM_DIR before running the tools.
    # Directory where LVM looks for configuration profiles.
    profile_dir = "/etc/lvm/profile"
    dir = "/dev"
    # An array of directories that contain the device nodes you wish
    # subdirectories found in the device directory. This setting is applied
    # to udev-managed device directory only, other directories will be scanned
    # udev directory will be ignored with this setting on.
    # If several entries in the scanned directories correspond to the
    # By default this cache is stored in the /etc/lvm/cache directory
    cache_dir = "/etc/lvm/cache"
 

so I believe your first tech note has solved the mystery, I will update the backup host and then check the next backup & will share the result.
