Backup Types on Veeam agent for Windows

[bickyz]

Hi, I have installed Veeam agent for Windows 2.1 on Windows Server machine. I have created job that will backup whole volume D: and E: drive to the shared folder on the QNAP box. I left all the settings default while creating the job, Advanced Settings\STORAGE tab has Optimal (recommended) for the Compression level. This job will run daily at midnight. What type of backup this will be i.e. will it be full backup or incremental or differential ?

Any help on this will be much appreciated, thank you.

Hi,

It will be Forever Forward Incremental backup method, during the initial run it will create a full backup file (.vbk) and then start to produce increments according to the retention policy. Thanks!
