At the Name step of the wizard, specify a name and description for the backup job.On the Home tab, click Backup Job and select Virtual machine > VMware vSphere or Virtual machine > Microsoft Hyper-V.To get a detailed description of all backup job settings, see the Creating Backup Jobs section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide. This section describes only basic steps that you must take to create a VM backup job targeted at a cloud repository. The number of increments kept on disk depends on retention policy settings. All subsequent job cycles produce incremental backups: VIB if forward incremental backup is used or VRB if reversed incremental backup is used.

During the first run of a backup job, Veeam Backup & Replication creates a full VM backup (VBK). Veeam Backup & Replication conducts both full and incremental backup. You can use the image-level backup for all types of data restore scenarios: restore a full VM, VM guest OS files and folders, VM files and VM virtual disks (for VMware VMs only) from the backup file.

Veeam Backup & Replication retrieves VM data from the source storage, compresses and deduplicates it and writes to the backup repository in Veeam’s proprietary format. Veeam Backup & Replication backs up a VM image as a whole: it copies VM data at a block level unlike traditional backup tools that process guest OS files separately. One job can be used to process one or several VMs. The backup job defines how, where and when to back up VM data.

To back up VMs, you must configure a backup job. In Veeam Backup & Replication, backup is a job-driven process.
