Maintenance Settings
To specify settings for backup files stored in the target backup repository:
- At the Target step of the wizard, click Advanced.
- If you want to periodically perform a health check of the most recent restore point in the backup chain, select the Perform backup files health check check box. To specify the schedule for the health check, click Configure.
By default, the health check is scheduled to start at 5:00 on last Sunday of every month. For more information on the health check, see Health Check for Backup Files.
- Select the Remove deleted items data after check box and specify the retention policy settings for deleted workloads.
By default, the deleted item retention period is 30 days. It is recommended that you set the retention period to 3 days or more to prevent unwanted data loss. For more information on the retention policy and its limitations, see Deleted Items Retention.
- To periodically compact a full backup, select the Defragment and compact full backup file check box. To specify the schedule for the compacting operation, click Configure.
By default, the compact operation is disabled. For more information on compact of full backup files, see Compact of Full Backup File.
If you want to save this set of settings as the default one, click Save as default. When you create a new job, the saved settings will be offered as the default. This also applies to all users added to the backup server.
Important |
When enabling the Defragment and compact full backup file option, consider the following:
Veeam Backup & Replication will extract data for such workloads from the full backup file and write this data to a separate backup file. The file will be displayed under the Backups > Disk (Imported) node in the Home view. |
