Backup Copy job to Cloud provider

Quite common setup;
Backup job , Incremental and synthetic full sundag.
Backup copy job to tier2 storage.

We added a extra copy job to a veeam cloud provider, and got this error.

21-03-2018 11:11:01 :: Source backup file has different block size. Expected block size: 1024, actual: ([backup name: Server, block size: 512])





Check compressiom level , and set it to "Optimal"
And set storage optimization to "Local taget"

And then run the job again. But this time a "active full"

Add an extra SCSI Controller to Veeam Proxy Appliance.

Add an extra SCSI controller to allow for more VM disks processing in parallel (check the corresponding Veeam proxy settings, default value is 4). 

The limit for a single controller is the maximum number of devices per SCSI controller (15). 

Max SCSI controllers per VM is 4 = 60 disks max. 

Adding one additional SCSI controller is usually sufficient.
