But to save you some time searching - no, you're not crazy at all. Forever incremental backup is the new norm, 75% of our customers are using some variation of one.

The primary advantage of using forever forward incremental backup method is space savings. However, the tradeoff is the required resources for the merge ...

Our backups jobs are currently configured to use forward incremental backups with 7 restore points and a synthetic full once a week.

The forward incremental backup method is the simplest and easiest to understand; it generally works well with all storage devices although it requires more storage space than other backup methods due to the fact that it requires the creation of periodic full backups (either using active or synthetic backups), typically scheduled weekly.

Forever forward incremental is 3 I/Os per backup on the repository because on every backup a merge process takes place to combine the full backup file (.VBK) with the oldest incremental file (.VIB).

01.09.2020 · Forever Forward Incremental Backup The forever forward incremental backup method produces a backup chain that consists of the first full backup file (VBK) and a set of forward incremental backup files (VIB) following it. Veeam Backup & Replication creates a forever forward incremental backup chain in the following way:

Forever forward incremental method keeps one full backup file (VBK) on disk, and then only incremental backups (VIBs) afterwards. This method allows backups ...
