Thanks for your help David.
We use the reverse incremental because we want a full backup on tape every day. As far as I understand Veeam does exactly that. Only the full VBKs are written to tape, not the VIBs. My boss doesn't like the idea of inserting several tapes to restore all after a possible cyber attack. Not many, but some employees work over the weekend thus we do the backup to disk also on weekends. But there is no one to insert a tape on Saturdays or Sundays. In the GFS settings daily backup is set to „Every day“ and can’t be changed.
I hope this helps?
