Backup copy jobs running several times in the same copy interval.

Hello everyone,

So, since upgrading to Veeam 9.5 Update 4, every customer running backup copy jobs are seeing multiple instances of the same backup copy job running. Example : https://imgur.com/a/2C0WGrs

While the backup copy DOES WORK, some customers are puzzled and worried since they receive 4 Veeam notifications, 3 of them empty.

I have opened two support request with Veeam, 03400242 & 03399995. The support engineers do not believe this is a widespread bug, and they seem to think this is a bug caused by our timezone.

Anyone else seeing this?

Yes I’m seeing this every night since updating to u4 last week. I’m getting 2-3 emails saying 0 of 0 VMs were copied. I assumed it was a u4 bug and haven’t reached out to Veeam yet.

Yes, I think I saw a note from builder on some BCJ bug with time zones.

Thanks Anton! Any hotfixes incoming?

Yep I would assume so, at least that's the only reason why this would be included in the builds history.

So far, this is only an "esthetic" bug right, this will not affect retention policy or the data itself?

I assume that this will be fixed in the hotfix down the line?

What time zone are you in? Just wondering what time zone is a problem.

All affected servers so far are in Eastern Time!

Yep, definitely seeing this. The amount of times doesn't seem to be consistent, but it's at least 2 or 3, sometimes more. It's quite a pain for me right now as I've been testing offloading some of the backup copy jobs to offsite locations and digging through the history is much trickier.
