Large Incremental Backups

[re_kn21]

Hi Everyone,

Recent user to Veeam, using a Cloud provider and backing up 4 servers with very little data transfer, not used for file storage etc.
I've noticed even with this being the caes, the incremental backups are quite large, the logs show a transfer for example of 19GB on a daily incremental even though there would be nowhere near this much new data on the servers. Is there anything to check?

Thank you!

Incremental backups only include disk blocks that changed their content since the last backup, so something clearly does a lot of writes on those servers. What application do these servers run?

Just Active Directory, DNS, Remote Desktop, a couple of small databases but certainly nothing that would generate that amount of incoming data

Ah... its databases. Those are always quite "chatty".
