Hi Michael,
1. In Veeam Data Cloud (VDC), there isn’t a selectable backup repository like in Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 On-Prem (which I also use), so I’m not entirely sure what you mean in this context.
2. I deleted the original backup policies after creating the new ones. (In VDC they're called policies, while in the on-prem version they’re referred to as jobs.)
My assumption was that VDC uses a shared backend repository and would handle new policies as differential backups if the data remained unchanged; similar to how Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 behaves. Since that doesn't seem to be the case and I saw the data size double with each policy change, it looks like VDC may perform a full backup even when the objects are identical (e.g., Mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint).
