NSX Backup doesn't store anything in 'cluster-node-backups' directory after upgrade

Products

• VMware NSX

Issue/Introduction

• The backup directory 'cluster-node-backups' doesn't get updated with new backup timestamp even with successful backup.
• 2 new backup directories(nsx-bkp, nsx-inv) are present in the backup directory configured in the backup server.

Environment

NSX 4.2.3.X , 4.2.X , 9.0.X 

Cause

In the newer versions of NSX(4.2.3.X , 4.2.X , 9.0.X ), the backup config is modified on the product level to accommodate a shorter directory path and newer directories(nsx-bkp, nsx-inv) with shorter name is configured to be created on the event of a backup.

Resolution

This is not an issue and if the backup task completes without error, consider the backup is taken successfully.
