Quick question on GFS

Post by buk3ta »

Hi,

I would like to ask a quick and simple question on GFS backup job.

My daily backup (incremental) has two restore points which are 12pm and 6pm. Since my backup to tape will run on the midnight (12am) later, which restore point will be taken by the backup to tape job? or both restore points?

Thanks in advance guys.

Hello,
It depends on your GFS settings... https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=100

1. Daily media set enabled. Both points are placed to tapes every day, sometimes (on GFS dates of the elder media sets) a virtual full will be synthesized from the first (12pm) point.
2. Daily media set disabled. Only on GFS dates of the elder media sets a virtual full will be synthesized from the first (12pm) point. The second point will be skipped on these days.
