HI again,
I am sorry, my problem is not related with this trail of non issue/missunderstanding on how Veeam incremental backup works.
I clearly have VIBs that remain un erased, not all of them, after a full backup.
I have : 1 restore point to keep, I know incrementals cannot be erased as they depend on fulls.
I run full on weekend, 1 restore point to keep. After a full backup, instead of having 1 VBK file, I still have some of the old VIBs still present and VIB files date time stamp updated by the backup process.
The behaviour is different (I mean it works correctly) when I back up on CIFS share.
Example of a DIR by date for one of the backups:
Code: Select all

Veeam says 8 restore points but as anyone can see, there are far more than 8 files.
Anyone experiencing the same issue?
Thank you,
Daniel.
