VMware vSAN File Services plug-in considerations and limitations

Following considerations and limitations are applicable in a VMware vSAN File Services environment:

  • All snapshots are captured at the file share level, and those snapshots are in read-only mode.

  • The limit for any file share name is 80 characters on the vSAN cluster. In the case of a snapshot name, the maximum length is 100 characters.

  • You can create a maximum of 32 snapshots per file share on the vSAN cluster.

  • You cannot delete the latest file share snapshot present on the vSAN cluster. Therefore, during the delete operation, NetBackup marks those snapshots, and deletes them in the next cleanup job.

  • The VMware vSAN File Services plug-in does not support point-in-time (PIT) rollback restore of shares using snapshots.
