issue with backup for VMs

[anthony sng]

Hi,



We have configured the retention point for the VMs backups as attached in the screenshot. The issue is, when checking we could see that the backup has been completed on 27-01-2023 and 29-01-2023. but there is no backup available on 28-01-2023. May I know what would be the possible reason?

Hi,
I assume you have a daily backup schedule on the client side? Was the backup started and completed successfully on the client-side on 28-01-2023? You can also check the tasks in PBS (upper right corner Tasks > Show all tasks) and see if there are any failed ones.

Hi,

I have checked in PBS server tasks, and there are backups ran on all dates except 28 th, there is no information for the backup, and no errors as well, is there any known cause for this issue?

Thank you

that most likely means that the client didn't execute a backup on that day. Check on the client side (e.g. your Proxmox VE node) for more information.
