Hello,
I have to following situation:
- Backup with 5 restore points on main location of all VM's
- Backup copy job from main location to secundairy location. We keep day backups, weekbackups and monthbackups here.
Our customer also asks for a backup on USB drive. I created a second copy job to copy all backups to the USB drive, however the minimum is to keep 2 restorepoints! Our USB drive is not big enough to hold 2 backups.
What is the best way to do this? It would be great if there is an option to keep only 1 full backup on an location.
Thanks.

Re: Keep 1 backup copy on USB drive
The second restore point in the chain will always be incremental, so contain only changes (i.e. typically much smaller in size). If you want just a single file on USB drive, you can configure the repository as rotated and enable disk cleanup prior the job cycle.
