[andvm]

Backup Job completes but seeing file integrity check failure so not entirely confident, can you suggest any further actions?

You seems to have issues with root partition it seems . Better to restore VC from backup and then try this .

[andvm]

thanks but not sure what you mean by "try this", should I open a ticket with GSS for a proper health check?

[Ajay1988]

Yes..Better get is validate by support once. Open a SR and upload a VC bundle

[LabMasterBeta]

What version of SMB are you running, from end-to-end? Do they match on VCSA vs the Backup host?
