Since our Veeam has been upgraded to 9.5 Update 1, we have set Health check.Ĭurrently, It is launched after the first incremental backup following a full backup. This new schema will allow us to have 2 complete chains that will use ~12TB (2 full backups and 20 incremental backups. Then the backup copy jobs schedule are continuous, with primary Backup Copy jobs to copy at 2AM (usually finishes in 1 hour), and DR jobs to copy at 3AM. I found a couple posts but not exactly my scenario so wanted to run this by the pros here in the forums and see what you thought. ago I just set the start time for the primary backup job (100VMs) to 10PM (incrementals usually finishes by 2AM). My new repository is near out of space and I think about reduce full backups ocurences like. Hello everyone, rather new to veeam and have been searching for best practices as far as scheduling jobs goes. I hear that synthetic fulls are better with ReFS due to fast clone, however Ive read a few posts on this subreddit that mention that synthetic fulls arent really needed and to leave them disabled. So I have 4 full backups and 14 incremental backups (the first chain contains only 4 incremental backups) that take 15TB. Should I enable synthetic fulls I am using ReFS on my repository and incremental backup mode for my jobs. The retention period is set to 14 points.Ĭurrently, I have 3 complete chains and a new full created yesterday. Today we have a backup job that creates a full backup a week with 5 incremental backups. Best practices for grouping VMs and scheduling backup jobs I am deploying Veeam for one of our clients but need help determining how many jobs, which VMs to backup in each job, and scheduling the jobs to work around each other. I want to optimize our backup policy following the upgrade to Veeam B&R 9.5 Update 1 and the installation of a new backup repository.
