Post by Rakesh »

Hi All,

First of all i'm new to Veeam product. Can anyone make me understand below things as i'm unable to understand in Helpcenter.

1. How to differentiate between retention period and restore point and how each of these works for Active and Synthetic full backup.
2. is it possible to have different repository for full(Synthetic and Active) and incremental backup. if yes then how to do it

Hi Rakesh,

1. Retention period for regular backup jobs is the same as number of restore points to keep. Can you please tell me a bit more on where the confusion comes from?
2. No, it's not possible. The entire backup chain should be stored in the same repository. Can you please share your use case why you need that?

Thanks!

As to different backup mode, these visual animations might be helpful. Thanks.

Hi Vitaliy/Eramin,

We have one job configured with Active full which runs on Friday and incremental runs from Monday to Sunday except Saturday and Friday. restore point is configured in job is 5 but when we do the restoration it says 10. So its making me little bit confused. We have opened ticket(Case # 00742027) with support person as well. I'm not sure how to attach screenshot. if you can guide me then i'll attach it for your reference.
