Hyper-V Backup Checkpoint
Hello,
Is it normal for the Hyper-v VSS backup to always leave a backup checkpoint after the completion of the backup?
The Avamar version is 7.3.0-233, the Hyper-V Server is 2012R2 and the Avamar Client is 7.3.101-125.
The checkpoint has a "Backup" label and can only be deleted through a Powershell script and not from the Hyper-V Manager.
With every new backup, the size of the avhdx files is shrinked to some MB.

Hi,
I can confirm that we are also experiencing the same behavior. We are running Avamar version 7.3.1-125 and are backing up virtual machines using Hyper-V VSS on a 6 node Hyper-V 2012 R2 cluster running the latest Microsoft patches.

Dear Rino,
Thank you very much for your answer.
Do you know if this issue is resolved in version 7.4.1-58 of the Avamar Server?
