Rotate Restore Points

[itpau]

Hello,

I try to understand how works restore points.

I set up 4 restore points on a Job who backup one Virtual Machine.
Job run every hours. It ran all the day, and now I have 12 restore points on my repo for this Job.

How it works ? I don't understand why veeam doesn't delete restore points that I don't want.

Any ideas ?

Hi,

The length of the backup chain depends on the backup method you're using.
Which backup method you've chosen for the job? Thanks!

Hi,

I use this method : Forward Incremental Backup

I made some tests and if I set 5 restore points it delete old restore points to the tenth.
