copy job always does full backup

[dbaages]

Hi there.

Backup Job is bulid like this :
RP:16
Incremental with full on last Monday of the month
GFS: 12m (last weekly full) /10y on November

- and is properly executed.

Copy Job is buld like this,
immediate copy
GFS: 12m (last weekly full) /10y on november

- but always does a full backup. Why?

Thanks in advance

Hello Damian,

How retention is set for the mentioned backup copy job? Thank you!

Hi, it´s 16 too, like the backup job.

Maybe, it´s bcause i selected "Read the entire restore point from source instead of synthesizing it from increments"?

That would do it. "With this method, Veeam Backup & Replication copies data for archive full backups from the source backup repository. This method decreases load on the target repository but increases load on the network and production environment."

You can see the full details here: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120

Changed it and some job now do an incremental but some still perform a full.
This is anoying because it´s killing my storages slowly.

solution for me:
cloned all affected jobs and deleted the non gfs files from disk.
