Hi,
I have created the following backup jobs for one virtual machine:
Backup to disk: Reversed incremental every day for a whole month
Backup to tape: the last sunday of the month
I want only the full backup from the reversed incremental job to be backed up to tape, and my question is:
When I create a backup to tape job (linked to the reversed incremental job), does VEEAM copy only the full backup (from the reversed incremental job) or does it backup the full backup + the incrementals files?
If I am doing it wrong, how can I setup the jobs so only the full backup goes to tape?
Thanks
Michael

Re: Am I using correct backup methods?
Michael, VRB files are automatically skipped from processing by the backup to tape job. So only full backup will be copied on a weekly basis.

Thank you, so it looks as if I did it correctly.
What do you mean by on a weekly basis?

Sorry, I missed the fact that you're offloading backups to tape on a monthly schedule.
