Hello,
ESXi 5.5 build 1892794
Veeam backup
machine - Window 7
A few days ago, a machine was frozen during a snapshot (progress at 50%, stuck over half a day). We called support and they went through to locate the stuck process. Support rebooted the VCenter and then I believe killed the process. The machine became corrupted. We had to restore entire machine.
Same issue occurred to the same machine about 1.5 months ago. The support killed the process and it was fine. No restarting of VCenter.
I was told there wasn't any abnormally but to look at the case in more details, they have to turn on more logging which will be disk space intensive. Over the years, we haven't seen anything like this. The closest thing was a "stun" process for a split second. As of now, we don't back up that machine anymore. Just curious if anybody have similar issue. My worst nightmare would be one day it does that to a more critical machine.
Thanks,
TT
