Fun Friday: World Backup Day 2022 Countdown continues - Choose your backup!

Hi Everyone, The countdown to World Backup Day 2022 continues!If you missed the previous Fun Friday post/game then check it out here! I want to stick with the fun theme here and have a new game. I’ll provide a scenario and you can choose what type of backup YOU would want, and leave a comment as to the why below! There’s no right or wrong here, just perspectives. What has worked for you? What gave you buyers remorse and made you want to choose something else? Scenario:You’re responsible for data protection in your organisation and have asked for budget to get some form of immutability or airgapped backup in-place. You have only one chance to get your budget approved and need to justify why you believe it is best. What do you go for? Why? Infrastructure:You have a simple three-node vSphere cluster running 20VMs, total production size of 10TB. This is connected to the internet via a 1Gbps link with a 1Gbps MPLS connection to a DR site, this has three-nodes and no production workloads. Yo

How full backup + incrementals daily

Hi,Does anyone know how to get Veeam to copy the Full backup + incrementals to tape daily? As in each day a new tape has both.  Alternativly I would be happy for it to create a synthetic full to tape each day.Ideally i dont want to do a reverse incremental incase they decide to go to cloud as well at a later date.Veeam just seems to refuse to backup files it already has on another tape! Thanks for the help.

Update on Veeam VCC online reference

For those that use Veeam VCC there was an online reference by Luca Dell’Oca which was a reference architecture and best practice on setting up VCC.  He has now updated the online resource to v11 so you can check it out here - Veeam Cloud Connect 11 Reference Architecture - Veeam Cloud Connect 11 Reference Architecture (vccbook.io) Very great reference for those in the Service Provider realm.
