I read a lot of stuff about getting the best backup strategy for ESX-VMs with Veeam but I can't find the right solution for our Situation. So let me explain:
We use Veeam to backup about 25 VMs with Direct SAN Access and at this time we use daily reverse incremental with active full backup on sunday. The backup repository goes to tape from monday to saturday with backup exec 2010 by full backup (no incremental or differential). That means:
Sunday: Active full backup
Monday: reverse incremental
Tuesday: reverse incremental
...
Saturday: reverse incremental
Sunday: Active full backup
Monday: reverse incremental
I would like to have about 30 restore points on disk but with that backup plan we would have more than one full backup (.vbk) on disk. Isn't it possible to transform the last .vbk-file to .vrb after creating a new active full backup? Currently we have only two restore points on disk to have only one full file on tape on monday.
Perhaps someone has the right idea for me?
