Backup Copy Job Monthly Only

Post by Ultra_VM »

Hi,

What Im looking to achieve is the following.
I have a full backup of 20 VMs to disks on the VEEAM Server every Saturday Morning.
I retain enough restore points for DR etc.

What I want to do is setup a copy job to copy a full backup to an external drive on the first Sunday of each month.
I dont want any restore points just the copy of the full backup first Sunday of each month.
I dont need the job checking or running each day, it just needs to run each first Sunday of the month to copy the full Saturday.
I dont need incremental copied or created.

That may happen.

The reason Im using the USB Drive is that we are potentially switching to a cloud setup for backup copy job in the future and this will carry us for 3-4 months while we wok on the cloud setup.

I'm asking since it's not that easy to make a monthly full with the backup copy job, but if the drives are rotating and repository is CIFS, then it will create a full copy each time it runs to a switched drive.
