Veeam 5 and Reverse Incrementals

Post by StuartHurst »

Hi
Is it possible for a reverse incremental to "catchup" on a backup should a previous backup become no longer available. Imagine the scenario as follows.
Backup occurs overnight using reverse incremental, and during the day, all the files are copied to an extenal disk. Next night, same again, but the files are copied to another external disk.
Should the copy local to the machine And the latest copy to an external disk become corrupt or no longer available, you still have the previous nights .vbk file on an external disk.
But, when you copy that back into Veeam, and try and do another incremental, it fails as it's expecting a different .vbk file name. Any ideas?

This won't work... the job expects certain file with the certain state to be there, in order for it to be able to continue.
