#Where does backup scheduler store its files full#
To be able to restore data from a Veeam Agent backup, you need to have a full backup file and a chain of subsequent incremental backup files on the disk. You can schedule active full backups to run weekly, for example, every Saturday, or monthly, for example, every first Thursday of a month.

All incremental backup files use the latest active full backup file as a new starting point. The active full backup resets the backup chain.

When Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows performs active full backup, it produces a full backup file and adds this file to the backup chain. To let you conform to these requirements, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows lets you create active full backups. For example, your corporate backup policy may require that you create a full backup on weekend and run incremental backup on work days. In some cases, you need to regularly create a full backup.
