The most valuable and important thing in today's business environment is data.
Backup is usually only resorted to after primary data failures in order to restore an earlier point in time with a copy of the data. According to Veeam's Data Protection Reports, four out of ten physical servers experience at least one failure per year. Generally, however, only one in two backup and restore operations works completely. The complexity of IT environments is constantly increasing, along with environmental disasters, power outages, and the growing threat of cyberattacks. Staff shortages and human error add to the problem. Three out of four companies recorded a ransomware attack last year. About a third of the companies that paid the hackers were unable to access their data. The average downtime was generally two weeks.

What are the types of Veeam backups?
There are three backup types that Veeam uses:

Full Backup
A full backup to a VBK file is where at least one file is used for full block copies for virtual machines. Multiple VMs can also be stored in one backup.
Incremental Backup
An incremental backup to VIB files copies only the blocks of data that have changed since the last incremental backup. For a restore of the data at a certain point of time it needs the correct sequence from the last VBK Full Backup with all incremental VIB files.
Synthetic Full Backup
The synthetic full backup is created by reading the full backup contained in the VBK file and the incremental backups to create a full backup file. To restore the data, you only need the last synthetic full backup.
What else should you consider when setting up your Veeam backup?
The security of the backed up virtual machines as well as the location where the Veeam backups are stored are influenced by other factors such as:
Storage Management
- NAS Setup
- Microsoft Storage Spaces
- Microsoft Deduplication
- Microsoft Dynamic Disk / LDM (Logical Disk Manager)
Storage
- Virtual Machines like VMWare VMDK- or Microsoft Hyper-V VHD/VHDX files
- Raid Arrays and LUNs
- iSCSI files
- NAS Systems through network share
- Block storage
- LTO or other Tape media
File Systems
- Microsoft NTFS + ReFS
- NetApp WAFL
- Linux EXT3/EXT4 + BTRFS are the usual NAS filesystems
- SAN Systems use proprietary file system setups
