VB Basic questions

[kyssling]

Hello,
I have knowledge with Acronis or Cobian, but I'm lost in Veeam.

Can someone please answer me following questions?

1) Is it possible to configure Veeam Free Agent to create every fifth backup, for example, as Full?
(automatically if Scheduler is set)

2) It is possible to configure the Veeam Free Agent to create Differential Backups and not Incremental ?

3) It is possible (for example via the Veeam Backup and Replication console Trial license) to transfer selected
Incremental backup to full backup ?

Thank you Kyssling

Hi Vaclav,

1. You can schedule periodic active full backups. It's not "every 5th" but it's based on the weekdays.

2. The backup chain can contain files of two types: full backups and incremental (there's no such type as differential backup In VAW). Please check this doc to get more details.

3. Do you mean Synthetic full backups? Yes, there is such option but it's not available in free version.

Thanks!
