The FFIB method is now the default method for all new backup jobs. This FFIB method eliminates the previous need to periodically perform synthetic full backups (heavy read and write IO requirements on the backup repository) or active full backups (heavy read IO requirements from the source, as well as heavy network or fiber traffic). For subsequent backup jobs, only the data blocks that have changed since the last performed backup are saved as an incremental backup file in the backup chain. Veeam creates a full backup file in the backup repository on the first run. The FFIB method produces a backup chain that consists of the first full backup and a set of forward incremental backups following it. One of the nice features of Veeam BR 8 is its new Forever Forward Incremental Backup method. This week I updated all of my employer’s Veeam Backup and Replication servers to version 8 update 1.
