I have a virtual server running on Server 2012 (not R2 for now) with 15 Virtual Machines.
I`m using default Windows Server Backup, have dedicated 4Tb drive for backups. So, the problem is after backup drive is runing out of space (about 4-5 days) server start doing just system state backup. After rescheduling it`s again backup virtual machines for few days and after that backup just system state.
I know that my backup storage is not really big, but i don`t need to keep backups for years, few days is enought. I just want to have some kind of automated backup rotation. Is it possible?
Windows Server backup 2012 looks like big black box for me, there is no settings about backups (like differental backups), you just have a scheduller and a destination, nothing more.
Thanks for attention.
Update: Just checked, it`s not even run out of space, there is still about 1,5 Tb free space on backup drive. It`s just stops to backup virtual machines.
