Frequency of the backup policies

[barrett27]

Hello,
with Flex plan and variable license model, once created, I see the backup policies run every 24h at a time that I cannot change.
Is there a way set a different execution frequency and start time?

Some customers are asking for RPO lowers than the 24h

Thanks

Hi,

Flex policies run at a default frequency of every 24 hours, and via a support ticket to Veeam Support this can be set to every 8 hours. The trigger time for the policy is set by Veeam to ensure a balanced experience for our customers.
Express policies run at a frequency of every 10 minutes and cannot be changed.

Thanks,
Michael

Hello Michael,
many thanks for the clarification.

I don't know if it's me, but I didn't find anything online about that info

You're welcome. The support team will assist if it's the right course of action to increase the backup frequency, if you try to backup your entire tenant 3x a day for example, you could exceed your Microsoft Graph API throttling thresholds hence we offer 24 hours by default and recommend 8 hours for a subset of users/sites that are the most business critical.
