Add VM to Backup Job with slow link destination

Post by a.zucchini@ads.it »

Hi, I've a Remote Site connected via slow link (10-MBit)
At the beginning I previously done a backup of a bunch of VMs to a local Veeam Repository, I sent this (*.vbm,*.vbk) to the remote site, copied to remote Veeam Repository, rescanned. After that I successfully ran my first Veeam Backup Job of these VMs over WAN connection using MAP "Backup function".

Now I have to add a new VM (80GB) to this Job, is there a way for seeding only this VM? otherwise the first backup generate too much load over the connection.

Andrea, I would ask first, why do you run regular backup job offsite, instead of having it to run locally and then using backup copy job to sync backups offsite (which is a more effective and recommended approach)? In this case, there would be a way to smoothly re-seed the backup copy job.

I created this backup when using an earlier version without Backup copy (Veeam B&R 6.0?) I never changed it since the first configuration,
I'll try the approach you suggest, thank you!
