#Tape drives for backup full
The virtual full does not depend on the job settings for incremental backups.
The virtual full cannot be switched off however, it is disabled automatically if the primary job periodically creates active full or synthetic full backups. You can configure the full backup with the scheduler. If the primary job produces a forever incremental backup chain or is a backup copy job, Veeam Backup & Replication will periodically create a virtual full backup. To build a full backup, Veeam Backup & Replication uses backup files that are already stored on the backup repository. The virtual full does not require additional repository disk space: it is synthesized directly on tape on the fly, when the tape job runs.
#Tape drives for backup series
Such series are convenient for restore: you will need to load to the tape device only those tapes that are part of one series. Each series contains one synthesized full backup and a set of increments. The periodic fulls split the forever incremental backup chain into shorter series of files that can be effectively stored to tapes.
The full backup is constantly rebuilt: as new increments appear, the older ones are injected into the full one. The forever forward incremental chain always keeps on disk one full backup followed by a fixed number of increments. The virtual full backup schedule can be configured on the “Backup to Tape” job.
#Tape drives for backup archive
If you archive forward incremental backups without synthetic or active full enabled, or archive Backup Copy Jobs, the full files are synthesized from existing restore points on disk. The virtual full option in tape job configuration is ignored. When archiving forward incremental backups, with active or synthetic full scheduled, the backup chain on tape will be a copy of the backup chain on disk. GFS media pool: The tape job will create a full backup from VRB files on specified day(s) as per schedule.Standard media pool: The tape job will always copy the full backup and ignore any rollback files (VRB).When archiving reverse incremental backups, the behaviour varies on the type of media pool used: Depending on this, “Backup to Tape” jobs either copies restore points to tape or synthesize a full backup. Tape operations Tape jobs and backup job modesīackup jobs can create different types of backup file chains on disk depending on the backup mode used.

Restoring VMs to an HPE 3PAR with thin disks.Backup Repository HA using Windows Storage Replica.Compared to disk storage, tape archive requires more time to retrieve files for restore if the tapes are stored offsite.
In particular, you can store full and incremental backups, apply user-defined retention settings to the archived data, select restore points and so on. Storing data to tapes provides you with the same data managing options as disk repositories. Veeam Backup & Replication offers support for tape devices and allows you to archive your data to tape and restore it from tape whenever needed. Using backup to tape, you can implement the ‘3-2-1’ backup approach (3 copies, 2 types of media, 1 offsite location) considered as a best practice for data protection and disaster recovery. Tape appears to be one of the most widely used media for offsite backup. Long-term archiving and compliance are listed as primary reasons for using tape. You can administer all operations on tapes from your Veeam Backup & Replication console. Veeam provides native tape support that is fully integrated into Veeam Backup & Replication.
