      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hello Everyone,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Need some advise from your end. Does any experience this before?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;One of my VM having a nested VM which should be automatically deleted.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There were no such policy to retain such snapshots.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;NetBackup also shown successful backup job.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;No Simplivity Backup Policy set to conflict with.. So I don't why this VM retained few snapshots and I have to delete it manually just to release some storage space.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;----&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Infra Overview:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;VMware Infra: 1x vCenter 6.5 / 2x ESXi Hos under HPE Simplivity Box&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Main Backup Software: NetBackup&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;---&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks in advance,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;JOf&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;For any image based backup, primarily there will be two tasks in the VM's tasks/events tab. Creation of snapshot and remove snapshot. Highlight the VM --&amp;gt; Go to its tasks/events tab --&amp;gt; enter 'snapshot' in the search bar --&amp;gt; It will list all the snapshot related activities. Every snapshot creation task will be followed by snapshot removal task. If there has been a miss on the snapshot removal task, VM builds on snapshots.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Please consider marking this answer as "correct" or "helpful" if you think your questions have been answered.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Cheers,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Supreet&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Will check on it. If there's a missed snapshot removal task, what should I do then?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;If there is a missed snapshot removal task, the backup tool might not have sent the API call. If it was received, need to check if any of the snapshot removal tasks failed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Please consider marking this answer as "correct" or "helpful" if you think your questions have been answered.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Cheers,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Supreet&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;There were no snapshot removal task that I can trace in the task and event console, Only creating snapshots, that's all.. any idea? From the NetBackup end, every backup schedule are successful though..&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="pastedImage_0.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/3511i4BF16C3513CD97FC/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="pastedImage_0.png" alt="pastedImage_0.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;On a side note you can configure vCenter Server to send alarms when virtual machines are running from snapshots.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;A href="https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1018029" title="https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1018029"&gt;VMware Knowledge Base&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Please consider marking this answer as "correct" or "helpful" if you think your questions have been answered&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
