If your data is 3TB at any point of time, if backup VM compression is approx 40-60% (you can easily see from the full backup job size), you will need approx 4.2TB based on the 60 + 10 restore points as I set above.Hi Adrian, If your data is 3TB at any point of time, if backup VM compression is approx 40-60% (you can easily see from the full backup job size), you will need approx 4.2TB based on the 60 + 10 restore points as I set above. The idea is to run reverse increments on weekdays, the more frequent, the smaller the and faster the job. I think you may understand the settings when you edit the jobs. Fileserver WE - 10 restore points Reverse Incremental - Active Full backups (Weekly on Sat & Sun), Schedule 'Daily' Weekends 9am

Fileserver WD - 60 restore points Reverse Incremental - Weekdays Every 4 hours (use schedule to white out weekends If you are backing up VMs, I would assume that your VMs are all stored on the same location without Raw device mapping (RDMs) using Veeam.įor Veeam, try to have separate jobs or each VM like for example : Then you can team the 2x NIC ports into 2x 1Gbps, this is useful if you are backing more than one VM at a time. Kindly see the RAID calculator for more info. I would assume that you have considered the synology 4 Bay NAS against the others (or 5 Bay) ? If you have the option to change, I would recommend a 5 bay (Synology can use 1x SSD for cache), else you can just use the DS916+ with 4x 4TB on RAID 10. So you have selected the best answer ? nonetheless, I hope to share and hope can help.
