Problem
After the backup, your previous backups were marked as Success (Removed).
Solution
There may be many reasons for this isse:
First, make sure your retention settings are correct. Go to Virtual Environments -> Backup SLAs -> Your SLA. In the rule tab, check the retention settings. Backups are deleted according to retention. For example, if your retention is set to 2 Full versions, then after the third Full backup, the first one will be marked as Success (Removed) and removed from the BD.
Make sure each of your Nodes is working properly and available. To be sure, you can run the vprotect-node-configure command on node. Settings needed by Node will be checked.
Make sure you have the correct permissions for your backup destination. Owner of the backup destination directory should be vprotect:vprotect. If the vprotect user does not have correct permissions, he will not see the backups and therefore they will be marked as Success (Removed).
[root@localhost ~]# ll /vprotect_data/backups/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 3 vprotect vprotect 27 Sep 29 16:01 alpine__564d0373
If there are several Nodes in your environment and you use a common backup destination, make sure that the backup destination is correctly mounted and visible on each node.
If you use several Nodes and, for example, a backup destination located on an NFS share, make sure that the time on each machine is the same (also on the NFS server).
The UID and GUID of the vprotect user should be the same on every node and server.
[root@localhost ~]# id -u vprotect
994
[root@localhost ~]# id -g vprotect
991
