Initial Full Backup

Blocks are compressed &

deduplicated then written to a

Veeam backup file

Used blocks are identified

Changed Block Tracking allows

fast identification of modified

disk blocks

Changed blocks are

compressed and written into an

incremental file

This process repeats for each

backup run

Veeam first runs an incremental

to capture all current blocks

All required blocks are now

located in the Veeam backup

files

Still in use blocks are copied

from previous full and

incremental backups

Once the full backup is built the

temporary incremental is

removed

Veeam runs an incremental to

capture all current blocks

All required blocks are now

located in the Veeam backup

files

Incremental blocks are copied into

the VBK while old blocks are copied

to a rollback file

The end result is a full backup

with reverse incrementals

Recommendation Consideration

Create jobs with VM counts that are

reasonable for the backup window

Estimate 2-3 minutes minimum

overhead per-VM

Create jobs that contain a

manageable amount of data

Total size of VM data within a job:

Local Target (1MB blocks): 8TB

LAN Target (512KB blocks): 4TB

WAN Target (256KB blocks): 2TB

Understand the impact of selecting

VM Objects

Selecting jobs by datastore or host

will cause full backups when VMs

move

Limit the number of exclusions used

in backup object selection.

While intelligent use of exclusions

may be required, complex exclusions

lead to VMs or data not getting

backed up
