Object Storage as Backup Target • Need Official Process for Stopping Checkpoint Removal without risk of corruption

Hello,

We have an issue where we rebooted our Veeam Backup Server (Windows) after patching and it corrupted something so that Checkpoints removal process failed and left orphaned checkpoints within our Wasabi cloud storage.

I recently learned that this Checkpoint Removal process runs 24/7, starts at 3am, and does not provide an option to stop it for system maintenance.

We have the following Veeam Support case:
Veeam Support - Case # 07802077 - Checkpoint Removal Failure on Wasabi Repository

We were informed by the engineer that I needed to submit a Feature request on this Forum.

My request is the following:
There needs to be an approved and documented process/procedure so that we can service the backup server without causing a corruption of checkpoints on Wasabi storage to occur. Please work to come up with an ‘Official’ process or utility to help stop/pause the Checkpoint Removal process so that the server can be rebooted when needed or product updated.

I personally consider this a defect and not a feature request, but I figured I would do what I can to get answers.

Thank you for your time.
