So I guess you're using Veeam Agents managed by Veeam Backup & Replication. Doesn't change much really, as the necessary steps and the available options are basically the same.
Yes, you need to specify a retention, but as I explained before, by choosing a retention based on the number of restore points (and not days), if you do not create new restore points, the existing backup is kept indefinitely.
So you can just create a Policy entering "1" (or any other number, doesn't really matter) as a retention period, make sure schedule is disabled, then perform a backup manually.
