This may impact the backup job performance, especially in case of low bandwidth or high latency network connection between the tenant side and SP side.
#VEEAM CLOUD FULL#
The process of a full backup file rebuild requires higher I/O load. The reverse incremental backup method is not recommended for backup jobs targeted at the cloud repository. You can also choose to periodically create synthetic full backups (for the forward incremental backup method only) and active full backups. On the Backup tab, select what type of the backup chain you want to create: forward incremental or reverse incremental.If you want to use the GFS (Grandfather-Father-Son) retention scheme, you can also specify how weekly, monthly and yearly full backups must be retained. To do this, in the Retention policy field, specify the number of restore points or the number of days for which you want to store backup files on the cloud repository. In the Retention policy field, specify how many restore points you want to keep on the cloud repository.At the Storage step of the wizard, from the Backup repository list, select the cloud repository to which you plan to store the backup file.If you want to exclude VMs from the VM container or back up only specific VM disks, click Exclusions and specify what objects you want to exclude.To quickly find the necessary object, use the search field at the bottom of the Add Objects window. At the Virtual Machines step of the wizard, click Add and select VMs and VM containers that you want to back up.At the Name step of the wizard, specify a name and description for the backup job.On the Home tab, click Backup Job and select Virtual machine > VMware vSphere or Virtual machine > Microsoft Hyper-V.To get a detailed description of all backup job settings, see the Creating Backup Jobs section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide. This section describes only basic steps that you must take to create a VM backup job targeted at a cloud repository. The number of increments kept on disk depends on retention policy settings. All subsequent job cycles produce incremental backups: VIB if forward incremental backup is used or VRB if reversed incremental backup is used.
During the first run of a backup job, Veeam Backup & Replication creates a full VM backup (VBK). Veeam Backup & Replication conducts both full and incremental backup. You can use the image-level backup for all types of data restore scenarios: restore a full VM, VM guest OS files and folders, VM files and VM virtual disks (for VMware VMs only) from the backup file. Veeam Backup & Replication retrieves VM data from the source storage, compresses and deduplicates it and writes to the backup repository in Veeam’s proprietary format. Veeam Backup & Replication backs up a VM image as a whole: it copies VM data at a block level unlike traditional backup tools that process guest OS files separately. One job can be used to process one or several VMs. The backup job defines how, where and when to back up VM data. To back up VMs, you must configure a backup job. In Veeam Backup & Replication, backup is a job-driven process.
