Incremental Restore from External Hard Drive

Post by jsdrexel »

Hello all, pretty new to Veeam and doing a little testing. This is what we're trying to accomplish.

We have been running a standard back to local drive on a server. Seems to be working good and it appears to be doing the default incremental backup. We've copied this backup to an external hard drive to take offsite. At our offsite server, we have copied the contents of the external hard drive back to our offsite test server. Everything is there, the Full backup plus all the incremental files. When I go to restore and select the file location, all if shows is the full backup with no option to select any incremental restore points?

How do we accomplish this?

Thank you very much for any help!!

Have you tried to import the backup chain either via .vbk or .vbm file? Once it's done, you should be able to restore from any restore point present in the backup chain. Thanks.

Yes, you just switch to Full Functionality UI mode using the main menu.
