I could use some help understanding how to best configure Veeam to meet my needs with object storage.
I already have a functional Scale out backup repository with object storage working. But I am not grasping the behavior/retention settings correctly.
TL;DR, I'm trying to backup 18TB of VMware virtual machines to local hardened Linux repositories where 30 days of restore points will always be available, and move/offload the longer term retention backups to object/cloud storage while meeting the specs below with restore points, weekly, monthly, yearly. Any guidance/help is much appreciated.
18TB of backup data.
Goal:
Scale out backup repositories
Hardened Linux repositories
Immutable backups
Object storage for longer off-site retention
30 days of restore points available on-site in the local Linux repositories
Offload/keep the following retention in object storage to free up space on the local Linux repository but still have this level of retention.
6 Weekly backups
13 monthly backups
10 yearly backups
I am using the Veeam calculator to try and determine the correct sizing for the environment and I'm not sure if I have the data correct to meet my goal here. Especially around the object storage move/copy/days part highlighted.
I'm not sure why the backup weekly, monthly, yearly is 0 in the calculator under backup..

Because those backups will be moved to Capacity Tier (object storage) and stored there, thus occupying zero space on Performance Tier (local storage). Thanks!

Thank you.
Does the following configuration below meet my needs then? I think I'm hung up on the repository move/operation window days and the jobs restore points days and GFS settings.
I want to make sure I get adequate local storage and plan for adequate cloud storage for the type of retention we are looking for.

I worked with someone at support who was very helpful and he was able to fill in the blanks.
