Veeam Full Backup

Post by javiereyes »

Hi,

Is it possible to schedule a full backup without incremental, daily and keeping only one full restore point?

Example:

Monday: Full
Tuesday: New Full, Delete Monday's full backup
Wednesday: New Full, Delete Tuesday's full backup
and so on ..

Regards

Yes, activate active full in the job and choose running on each day. What is the goal of this?
What do you try to do?

Hello,
just for curiosity: what are you trying to achieve?

To answer your question: yes, just set one restore point with for example forward incremental forever. https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=100

If you want to delete the only backup before having a successful backup, then you need scripting.

Best regards,
Hannes

Ok, thank you for your answer. It's a customer's request. He only wants 1 restore point and he doesn't have enough disk space.

Hello Javier,

Probably, it would make sense to double check that the customer does not have enough free space for incremental backups, for example this restore point simulator might be very helpful. Also, in the given scenario the customer needs to have free space for 2 fulls but keep in mind that you can use forever forward incremental chain which consists of a single full and a set of incremental files.

Thanks!
