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.


@TomasK 

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
