When Veeam Backup runs again and created a VIB file or VBK file and again Symantec Runs as Incremental against veeam files, only the last changed files will be backed up.Д«ut, when Symantec Full backup runs against Veeam, it will backup everything on the drive, means all Full *.VBK Files along with all *.VIB files.

In Symantec when Full Backup is configured to backup Veeam Images it will Backup everything on the drive and will reset the file Archive Bits. With Symantec Backup Exec 2010 and Veeam Integration there is a caution in here to select which backup methods to use when you Backup the Veeam Images *.VBK or *.VIB files. This will allow only one restore point on disk.ДЄll traditional backup software, the well-known backup methods are Full, Incremental or Differential. The same applies to the non-critical virtual machines backup jobs, except those backup jobs are set to 1 for both values, Restore points to keep on disk:= 1 & Deleted VMs data retention period:= 1. When CheckDateValue() reach next week Wednesday, the previous backup chain will be deleted entirely. vbk file.ДЇull Backup runs on 27 th April, 2012 it will have a chain of Sunday through Thursday. Note: Since the Deleted VMs data retention period set to 5, CheckDataValue() when it reaches to 5 days, the full last backup chain will be deleted from disk and will have a new.

vbk file and Sunday through Thursday is incremental which will gives 5. This settings result 1 Full Backup on Friday. And schedule backup Sunday through Friday. Since those Virtual Machines are changing dynamically and daily, weekly and monthly backup requires for them backup job settings are configured based on the disk space and how long we can restore from disk.Д«ackup Mode set as Incremental and Weekly Friday Active Full Backup. Virtual machines are not changing on a daily basis, such as AntiVirus, Proxy Servers, WSUS, Deployment Serves Virtual machines are changing dynamically, such as Mail Server, file Server, Archive Server, Sharepoint, etc. Backup jobs configured for each VM to one of the above repositories.Дue to lack of disk space in the repositories and which limits the number of days ofbacked up VMs should remain on disk, all the backup jobs are configured as follows Д¬ategorizing the backup jobs based on roles of the Virtual Machines helps a lot from backing up static Virtual Machines which doesnвЂ™t change very often. In my environments, I have multiple targets ДЄll the above repositories are added to the Veeam Backup & Replication v.6.0.0.181. Again, this retention period plays a big role in the repository storage and how big your storage is. The sizing of the repositories also it depends on each environment and how much data needs to be restored from disk and for how long. The Veeam resources it depends on the environments and workload that put on the backup during backup operation.ДЄll backup repositoriesвЂ™ are mapped through iSCSI Initiator with MPIO.

Veeam B& R v6.0.0.181 is installed on a Virtual Machine running guest operating system Windows 2008 R2 64bit with 8 GB of Ram and 2 Virtual vCPU Sockets and 4 Cores for each socket. This document highlights some necessary steps required to setup a successful Veeam Backup and Symantec Backup Exec 2010 for tape integration and off-site storage.
