Veritas NetBackup™ Release Notes

VMware protection plan creation can fail when automatic scheduling and WORM storage are used

The protection plan creation does not work for the VMware workload when you select the following options:

  • All schedule frequencies are set to less than one week.

  • The WORM storage has a valid Lock Maximum Duration that is less than one week greater than the requested retention period.

Workaround: If you use a protection plan to protect VMware with WORM capable storage, set the WORM storage Lock Maximum Duration to greater than one week. Or, explicitly select the schedule type in the protection plan.
