Hello experts,
Hope you are doing well.
I have a question regarding retention in backup copy jobs.
You see I want to be able to keep 30 restore points in my DR site using backup copy jobs. In the "Target" step of the Backup Copy job creation wizard (https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... tml?ver=95), I cannot specify more than 7 restore points because I have StoreOnce VSA as target repository.
My question is, if I also enable "Keep the following restore points as full backups for archival purposes" check box and specify 4 for the weekly backups as seen in the same picture above, how many restore points will I actually have?
1)
Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun

OR 2)

Hopefully my question is clear.
Thank you in advance.

Hi DGrinev,
Thanks for your reply.
Is there a way to have the first option with StoreOnce VSA?
