Hi community,
Another question I get a lot regarding object storage is the absence of Synthetic Full backup in the advanced setting:

There is no toggle for Synthetic option, but it can be activated via GFS: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/direct_backup_to_object_storage_limitations.html?ver=120


Unlike block or file storage type, it is not required to schedule additional fulls in Advanced, when configuring GFS:

Generally, object storage doesn’t need periodic Active Full backups due to the structure of the files and there is no notion of .vbk or .vib. I recommend using GFS option and not going to Advanced settings. Synthetic full on object storage works similarly to the one stored on XFS and REFS based repositories.
Thanks!
