asked on Veeam 8 Best Practices
For backup/replicating?
Based on us using local storage, no SAN. A dedicated veeam server at out live site:
I assume a full backup weekly, and incrementals daily are a good idea? If so, whats the difference between the 'create synthetic full backups periodically' and 'active full backup'?
Replications: what's the best options to take for replicating between the two locally hosted hosts?
We wont replicate to DR yet (over WAN). So would a second veeam server be recommended for the remote/DR site?
Thanks

file - configuration backup - enable config backup options... encryption etc.
e.g. i thought i encrypted a backup with PW and it failed. i assume the config options need setting up?

Yes, you will need to setup and config options required.
It might be worth you reading the manual on Veeam Backup and Replication!

our veeam box is physical.
also, once i run a full replication (takes as long as acronis) do following replicas use cbt?

All backups use CBT, if enabled!

backup, replicas, same technology.

ok
our veeam box is physical.Ok, but where do you put all your day-to-day backups? In this physical box too?

after speaking with veeam tech, reverse incremental using application aware on backups seems best (yet to test recovery)
replication to remote site isn't going to work over slow link. will stick to file level replication and database copies. will test a replication of a test server to see if exchange can be done
