Accidentally deleted .vbk file

Post by Badi55 »

Hi!

I have accidentally deleted the .vbk file of a reverse incremental backup job :oops: .
I think I have no chance to "rebuild" the backup chain, right?
If so, what is the best way to clean everything up and start over with the same job?

vbr 9.5.0.1038

Hi Uwe,
There is no way to rebuild VBK from .vrb files as it contained unique data blocks. If you don't have a copy of .vbk and it's backup data is not that critical, you can just create new backup.
If data is critical you may try to get the file back as when you click "delete" file, OS just marks corresponding disk space as free and available for writing. If nothing is written above, you may get the file back. Not with Veeam tools though.
Thanks!
