Hi,
I have a scenario where I will need to protect VMware VMs which can be located either on Datastores from Storage1 device or Storage2 device.
I will have 2 plans setup for this:
- Plan1 will backup VMs from Storage1 datastores to a backup Pool2
- Plan2 will backup VMs from Storage2 datastores to a backup Pool1
The issue is that Pool1 is tied with Storage1 and Pool2 is tied with Storage2 in the sense that if Storage1 goes down for any reason then Pool1 will be unavailable too. The same is true for Storage2 and Pool2.
The other issue is that VMs can migrate between Storage1 and Storage2
For these reasons I always need to have last backup chain available on the pool that is independent of the Storage device where VM is sitting during backup.
Some time ago it was a default behavior to force Full backup after changing target Storage Policy and since my Plans use different Pools/SPs, then and that would basically solve this for me. But this is not the case anymore. So my question is: is there a way to revert back to the old behavior of forcing Full during SP change? I could not find any Additional Setting for this but maybe there are some undocumented ones.
Regards,
Robert.
