invalid veeam proxy, backuped vm needs consolidation, lot of .ctk files

Hi,

few days ago, the backup of 2 VMs failed. I use the HW veeam server with Veeam Proxy VM (which is now invalid) and both VM have message "consolidation needed" but, when i click to consolidate, nothing doing. I tried to remove from inventory the invalid proxy and re-add it back to vmware but not working, its still invalid. Both failed VM running without problem, but i cannot backup/replicate and in the folder are lot of sesparse.vmdk and ctk.vmdk. My colegue tried to shutdown VM, create snapshot, consolidate, power on, consolidate but we still have issue with sesparse and ctk files. I cannot edit VM, migrate VM... any advice ?

Hi @TomKalabis

Try to clone the virtual machine. This should resolve your issue. If not, can you please add some picture of the issue and configuration to this post.
