If I don’t need regular off site or tape copy, do I need to schedule a synthetic full, or will a forward incremental with a setting of 7 restore points effectively leave me always with a full and 6 incrementals?
So the safest would be a Forward Incremental right?
Assume the backup repository is safe. My server gets crypto’s before the backup window.By my understanding: FI, my full is safe and the latest incremental is FUBARed. I can restore my full and the last safe incremental. RI, since all the crypto’d files are merged in the full, I have no good recovery point. Or am I missing something?
I’ll try to be clearer. The backup repository cannot be reached from the server network, so it can’t be encrypted by the malware. Now, my file server gets encrypted, all files, just before the backup window.The backup is taken, it will show all files have been changed and back them all up.My restore points is set at 7My understanding is this:Using FI, I have a good full, 5 good incrementals and one completely hosed incremental. I can restore to 2 days ago. Using RI, the last backup, the encrypted files, is merged into the full and therefore I have no good full to use as a restore point.
Maybe my understanding of RI is wrong, but I understand that the last incremental is injected into the full. If the last incremental contains all the files on the server in an encrypted form, and that is injected into the full, isn’t my only available full entirely encrypted?
Ah, now I get it. So the vbr are the files from the vbk prior to the backup. i thank you both for your expertise and patience.
@Chris.Childerhose I did that. In the map screen, I only saw the old names. I did a rescan and now I can’t see either the old or new name.
So what is missing. I rescanned the repo. I edit the job, under Storage, I click on the “Map Backup” link, I can see the repo, but the renamed folder is not there at all anymore.
