Hi guys, 

i have a question about the increments and synth full backups. 

What is a best practice for backup of VMware infrastructure ? 

For example increment in these days: 

  • monday
  • tuesday
  • wednesday
  • thursday 
  • saturday
  • sunday

and run a synthetic full backup at friday - with “run incremental backup before synthetic full” ? 

is these settings enought ?

HI ​@TomasK ,

That approach will run a daily incremental and will consolidate the cycle once a week on Fridays.

I cannot see anything wrong with it, if it meets your requirements I’d say you are all good.

As my colleague said, your configuration looks good. You can also check our Documentation below:

Any specific reason why you want a Synth Full to run every week?  Unless there’s a specific reason, I would go with Automatic or at least a longer duration between jobs.

Thanks,
Scott
