Tape • Re: Best practice daily with Tape job Monthly

Hello,
I've used "Forward Incremental" in the past, but we've about 700 servers that are backed up every day, and about 30 servers have several TB of data to back up, so it would be impractical (many writes to create the new full and the "old" incremental).
I also prefer to take the backups from CopyJob because they are in the same location as the Tape Library, even if I currently use the backups directly because even though it is far away it is still faster.


On this very interesting page
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/archive/ba ... riods.html
I don't quite understand the "Monthly GFS cycle" part.
From what I read, if I choose "Last," in a month with 31 days, the FULL is executed on the 25th? Why?


thanks again
