    yellow normally is a sign of warning, can you go to events, or alarms and try to deduce the error message?

    I am using the VDR plugin. There I don't have any tabs with event or alarms.

    I only have Backup, Restore, Reports and Configuration.

    Can you post a screenshot?

    Do you see this trinagle also in the Host & Cluster inventory?

    It means that the VM has a warning in the backup jobs.

    Check in the VDR / Report / Events

    When was the last good backup of that VM?

    A yellow triangle generally means the VM has not had a good backup within the last few days (I think it's within the last 3 days).

    A red triangle generally means the VM has not been backed up in a week.

    You are right. It's been more than 3 days that I had a sucsessful backup.

    I'll see what it looks like tomorrow, after backups are beeing made tonight.

    Thanks for your help

    I would restart your vDR appliance. Once it fails it isn't likely to fix itself. Restarting occasionally seems to fix this and similar problems. Restart long before the scheduled backup start times just in case the destination disk needs to be verrified.

    The first thing I did was restarting the VDR Appliance, but that did not solve the problem.

    But today, everything looks good again. A new backup was made a night and all the yellow

    exclamation marks are gone.

    Thank you all for your help

    In which inventory?

    Click on VDR node and then go to alarm tab.

    Usually is CPU or mem usage when it's doing backup or integrity check.
