Hi Yathus

I have an active backup task on saturday but look like some computer are off these day..

Your computer needs to run on the day you have scheduled your active full. Or it won't happen.
You must choose a day where your employees are working. Or Veeam will continue with incremental backups until you don't have the space to run a new full backup.

How can i merge from server ?

You cannot manually merge a backup.
Best option I see is to run a manual active full so that the chain starts from the beginning:

Older backup chains (VBK, VIBs) can then be removed when they are out of their configured retention.

If you don't have the space, you can delete older chains manually (VBK + VIB).

Best,
Fabian
