Question

only Full Baclups without incremental

Hello,

we would like to create full backups of our client machines. These should be generated every first Monday of the quarter. Subsequently, no incremental backups should be created.
The full backups alone are sufficient for our needs.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a setting to implement this.
Incremental backups are always being generated.

 

Best regards,

Hello Ruben,

You can configure Active Full backups to run on the first Monday of specific months (for example January, April, July, and October) using the job's Advanced Settings, as shown below.

However, if the backup job continues to run between those dates, Veeam will create incremental restore points. To have only full backups, the job must run only on the scheduled quarterly dates.

Could you share how the job schedule is currently configured?
