Hello team,

Azure VM(V2) backup via a MA lives in Azure and backup working fine

 

just noticed an interesting thing when synth full runs, during startsynthfull phase, it attached to on-premise index server to retrieve index

supposed it should pull index from its own index server (index server to which the VM Storage Policy associated )

Hello @DanC 

Simply, there are index logs that need to be transferred from the on-prem Media Agent to the cloud based one. This can happen when the subclient or policy were moved\changed in the middle of a cycle. Once the Synth Full runs we would try to transfer the index files from the old MA to the new MA. This process should be seemless unless there are connectivity issues between the source and target Media Agents.

We can also encounter index issues like this when aux copies are not fully caught up. If the earlier part of the cycle has been copied and aged off the Primary copy, we will restore the index from another copy.

To determine the root cause of why this is happening we would need logging and a database (would be best to get a Support Case opened) but if there are no issues being reported and the jobs are running you should be OK.

 

Thank you,

Collin
