Add New VM to Existing Backup Job - What Happens

[nitramd]

Suppose you add a new VM to an existing forward incremental backup job with a weekly synthetic full.

Since this new VM has never been backed up I presume that the backup of this new VM is full not incremental since Veeam has no prior context.

Is this correct?

I trying to come up with a simple explanation when I'm asked.

With Per-VM chain there will be a full backup for that VM.

And in the case where per-VM backup chains are not enabled, the full backup for that VM will be written in the incremental file (VIB).

Thank you @pirx and @foggy for the quick replies, much appreciated.
