Backup Settings

To specify settings for a backup chain created with the Veeam Agent backup job managed by the backup server:

  1. Click Advanced at the Storage step of the wizard.
  2. If you want to periodically create synthetic full backups, on the Backup tab, select the Create synthetic full backups periodically check box and click Days to schedule synthetic full backups on the necessary week days.

NOTE

Synthetic full backup is not available for backup jobs targeted at an object storage repository.

  1. If you want to periodically create active full backups, select the Create active full backups periodically check box and click Configure to define scheduling settings.

Backup Settings NOTE

Consider the following:

  • Before scheduling periodic full backups, you must make sure that you have enough free space on the target location.
  • If you schedule the active full backup and synthetic full backup on the same day, Veeam Backup & Replication will perform only active full backup. Synthetic full backup will be skipped.
