If you separated the large VMDKs into their own backup jobs, you would be creating more manual work for the backup administrator, who would have to configure and maintain multiple jobs for the same group of VMs. This would go against the requirement of reducing administrative overhead by using dynamic scoping.

Dynamic scoping is a feature of Veeam Backup & Replication that allows you to automatically include or exclude VMs from backup jobs based on tags, attributes, or policies1. For example, you can use VMware tags to assign a backup policy to a VM, and then use the tag as a filter in the backup job. This way, any VM with that tag will be automatically added to the backup job, and any VM without that tag will be automatically excluded. This simplifies the backup management and ensures that all VMs are protected according to their assigned policy.

For large VMDKs with high I/O, you can use alternative backup methods to avoid performance impact and stuns, such as storage snapshots, direct SAN access, or hot-add2. You can also use different storage optimization options to balance the deduplication ratio and the backup file size3. These options can be configured within the same backup job, without the need to separate the large VMDKs.

The tiers of Veeam Financial Services’ backups that will require SureBackup jobs are the silver and gold tiers. SureBackup jobs are used to verify the recoverability of backup files by running virtual machines from backups in an isolated environment and performing tests against live applications1. This feature is suitable for the silver and gold tiers, which have recovery time objectives of six hours and 30 minutes, respectively, and require backups to be verified. The bronze tier, which consists of development machines and field portables, has a recovery point target of seven days, with no recovery time target set, and does not require backup verification. Therefore, SureBackup jobs are not necessary for the bronze tier. Laptop backups are performed by Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows, which does not support SureBackup jobs2. References: SureBackup, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows.

A possible cause of failures to meet the requirement to test gold tier backups is that you cannot firewall traffic between vLANs in the SureBackup job configuration. This could prevent the gold tier virtual machines from communicating with each other or with other required services in the isolated virtual lab. For example, if a gold tier virtual machine needs to access a database server or a domain controller in another vLAN, it might fail to start or function properly in the SureBackup job. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all necessary vLANs and network settings are configured correctly in the SureBackup job.
