Reading the user guide for V11, as well as the configuration screens, I am a bit confused to how Veeam handles daily incremental files for the GFS pool. I find multiple references saying, "If the source job creates an incremental backup, the GFS job synthesizes a virtual full backup." I definitely do not want to burn 20 tapes and 20 extra hours for a virtual full every night just to write an incremental backup, when it currently takes 2. Is this the case, or am I reading it wrong?
Honestly, I think it would be better if we could send incrementals to another regular short term pool and save the GFS buckets for the full backup files, as you do with jobs going to regular pools. I was disappointed to see that option removed when I chose a GFS pool as the target.

Re: GFS Media pool with daily incremental
Hello,
Best regards,

agree and it's not required Daily backups are incremental backups (see here)I definitely do not want to burn 20 tapes and 20 extra hours for a virtual full every night
I got lost here. If you like different media pools for everything, then classic media pools can be used. GFS media pools simplify things, but they are not mandatory.Honestly, I think it would be better if we could send incrementals to another regular short term pool and save the GFS buckets for the full backup files, as you do with jobs going to regular pools.
