Veeam Backup & Replication • Re: Backup of select servers to external repository

Hi Fabian

Thanks for the input. Sound like a more elegant solution. May assign a new tag on these systems, which I exclude on the current job but use as scope for the new job. I prefer this to setting specific machines as targets.

Regarding schedule, we run daily backups to our local repository and keep those about 6 months, so that will be our primary source in for restore operations.
New legislation requires us to keep a weekly copy for 5 years. Not for recovery purposes, but for auditing. Due to the long retention, we don't want to store more data than necessary. So unless it literally amounts to the same amount of data, the plan is just to do the weekly backup.

Best regards
Morten
