Hidden snapshots creation ?
Hi,
my eq is PS6210E model 70-0425. An hyper-v cluster (4 hosts) connects through iSCSI.
On SAN, I configured 4 snaphots and to overwrite if needed.
However, I can see a lot more snapshots for each volume that empty volume space .. and I can see that are requested from the hyper-v hosts through VSS HW provider. So, I opened Auto Snapshot Manager on each host but there is NO schedule. I also took a look under task scheduler .. but no jobs are configured.
Where can I look to find this "ghost" snapshot scheduling ?
Thanks.

Hi Donald,
you are right, it seems that Veeam is creating these snapshots. However I don't know why.
Thanks I'll dig into it.

Thanks Donald your help is much much appreciated.
I tried your suggestion and it works very well.
I can add that Veeam settings permit to choose another VSS provider and I selected the Microsoft one, working around the problem that to me was caused from the inability of Veeam to delete the snapshot after the creation.
Best regards.
