Snapshots not running while replication is.

Core is running Rapid Recovery version 6.1.0.645 and protecting six agents.  Two days ago we enabled Replication to a core in Azure and the first one is currently pushing 2.62 TB offsite and is 72% complete.

 

I've noticed during this time, other replication jobs were queued for the other agents, and no snapshots (backups) have taken place for any of the protected servers since this replication had started.

 

Is this expected behavior- to pause snaps until replication is finished?  Or is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing to allow multiple jobs (replication and backing up the servers)?

Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Unfortunately this behavior is a side effect of some less than ideal logic. Queued and running replication jobs block rollup from running for those agents. So rollup gets queued. Queued rollup then blocks backups from running. So the solution is to cancel the queued rollup job and then backups will process again. To stop this from happening while the initial replication job is running, I recommend disabling rollup from the settings -> nightly jobs page until the replication is in sync initially.
  • Thanks for clarifying the process. Will follow your suggestion.
