Hey everyone,
In most cases, you’ll notice more restore points on disk than what’s configured in your job settings. This happens because VBR only deletes restore points once a full backup chain of 14 restore points is completed. As a result, there can be more than 14 restore points present at any given time.
Additionally, VBR creates a separate backup chain for each VM, which increases the number of files stored in the backup repository.

Hope this helps!
