hello,
we have a customer with +2 tb data og many changes of data daily.
Currently there is 2 jobs:
1 forward incremental daily with 70 restore points
1 forward incremental daily with 14 restore points to seperate iscsi storage for tape archive
im wondering with the local ( 70 restore points)
is this a dangerous approach to maximum datastorage? i wish to storage so long possible ? but what is the practice here and what do others to to archive long term veeam storage?
anyone in for a chip?

Re: Forward Incr. max restore points
For our long term archiving we use weekly forward incrementals and then do synthetic fulls/transform to rollbacks on the weekends. This way during the week we are able to archive the full off to tape. We are doing this with several 1-2 TB VBKs.

Re: Forward Incr. max restore points
Hello Chad
i forgot to mention booth of these jobs do weekly incremetal
but im considering changing stragtegy regarding active fulls..
Im just wondering if this is the best way to do it? i wish i could go even further on the restore points but i dont know what people are using?
im considering:
1job with 30 restore points for daily
1job with 12 restore points for monthly
anyone can vouch for that?
i dont see the real benefits for reverse incremental though even if someone could convince me thats the way to go?

Hi Lars,
with 70 restore points, reverse incremental can saves you 9 full backup files. Depending on what is the size of one of your VBK full backups, it could be a lot.
On the other side, forward incremental offers the least level of I/O load for the backup storage, while both reverse incremental or forward+fransform have higher I/O penalty on the backup storage (shameless plug, I wrote about it here: http://www.virtualtothecore.com/en/?p=3027)

I do not see any issues with this jobs configuration, just make sure you have enough space on the target repository.randomb wrote:im considering:

And here is a good topic on how often full backups are recommended to run: How often do I need a full backup?randomb wrote:but im considering changing stragtegy regarding active fulls..
