removable disk question

[larry]

I am trying to send a backupcopy job to a removable disk. I have a disk for each day of week, Mon-Sun. I want the daily job to wipe disk and then backup copy from backup that day plus 7 previous backup points in the backup source. The source is a reverse incremental. Is there a way to do this? The disks will only be connected for the one day their job runs. ( Veeam 8 ) I am required to have the backup "off-line" daily by policy, we now use tape and I just grab the last seven days of files, which is full + restore points.

Larry, for that case you'd better use some external file copy utility to copy the entire backup chain on the disk, since backup copy job will create a just single restore point containing the latest VMs state. You can also schedule Veeam B&R file copy job for that (provided some script cleans up the disk prior to that).

My main reason was to have the extra restore points was because there is room on the disk. Will look at a post backupcopy script to copy the next 6 newest vrb files.

Yep, this is also a viable approach.
