VMs Showing as "Not Backed Up" and "Unknown Job" When Using Sequences Only
-
I have a set of VMs that I backup using Sequences. The backup schedules are intentionally disabled for these VMs because I only back them up through the Sequences feature.
In the filter view, these VMs are displayed as "Not Backed Up."
Under "Backup > Health" the backups for these VMs are showing as detached with "Unknown Job".Is this the intended behavior when backing up VMs solely using Sequences? I'm just using a weird configuration ?
Steps to Reproduce:
- Disable backup schedules for specific VMs.
- Set up and run a backup sequence that includes these VMs.
- Check the filter view and "Backup > Health" status for these VMs.

@cirosantos0 I've not personally used the sequences feature, but from what you said you've disabled a Backup job for these VMs, and then are creating a new Sequence for these VMs.
Are you certain the Health Alerts aren't related to the Disabled backup job?
I know that if you remove a VM from a backup job that's already kicked off through tagging or editing the job to remove the VM directly that the Backup Health tab will list those runs and that VM as unhealthy.

@DustinB You were right; the backups showing as detached are remnants from the backup schedule that I disabled earlier.
The only remaining issue is that the filters show the VMs as "Not Backed Up," even though they are included in the sequences.

@cirosantos0 Indeed, our detection is wrong in this case, I will put this in our backlog, but don't expect it to be fixed soon.
PRs are welcome though
