Interesting, no I left that on Automatic. Will experiment and see if that fixes it. Opened a support case and got an interesting reply too.
Let me answer your query.
"Does full VM restore use either the vSphere replication or vSphere replication NFC services and is this the reason Veeam is not using the backup IP range for restores? "
- In Veeam Backup & Replication, full VM restores typically utilize the NFC protocol, which relies on the management network by default. This is why Veeam might not be using your dedicated backup network IP range for restores.
- To ensure that VBR uses your custom backup network for restores, you can configure the vSphere Backup NFC option on the VMkernel adapter used for restore operations. This setting directs restore traffic through the specified network, bypassing the management network.
