Hi
I got an question, that I hope someone can give me a answer to.
I have Veeam B&R V5 installed on my backup server, and it runs everyday, and making an *.vib file.
This *.vib files would I like to move to my remote backup site, and somehow "open" the file, so that I can restore en VMware machine, if necessary.
I would also like to do this, if the backup server once day dies, or some other thing.
But how is this done in best practices?
At the moment the *.vib file is 2TB large, and contain more that 6x vm machines.
And its only getting bigger.
So it is crucial that I have an fallback backup server that I can restore from.
Thanks
Allan

Re: Move backupfile to remote site - Best Practis
To be able to restore, you actually need a full backup (.VBK) and a whole chain of incrementals (.VIB) occurred since that full till the one you want to restore from. You cannot restore just from a single incremental file. To better understand the specifics of incremental backup, I would suggest to review our sticky FAQ topic and corresponding section of our product user guide.
