Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows • SQL Server Transaction Log Backup - Windows Agent Log Backup

I recently separated my VBR, from simple deployment (physical server acting as VBR + repository) to advanced deployment (new VM as VBR and physical server solely for repository only).

I notice that Windows Agent Log Backup does not automatically resume after I mapped the previous backup chain and enabled the Windows Agent backup job.

I have another VMware backup job with, this VM job automatically resume the SQL Log Backup after I mapped the previous backup chain and enabled the backup job.

The Windows Agent Log Backup stuck with this message, the only to force it to start Log Backup Job is to start the Windows Agent backup job, which is not ideal outside the agreed daily backup window.

Waiting for SQL Server backup to appear 09:35

Is this expected for Windows Agent Log Backup? I have rescan repository, it's still Waiting for SQL Server backup to appear.
