Hello,
there are several options depending on the available hardware, file system used (REFS / XFS with block cloning) and backup retention settins.

https://www.veeam.com/kb1729 covers very many options.

Using the "sealed mode" with scale out repositories is probably the smoothest option if you have a short retention and / or REFS / XFS.

Best regards,
Hannes
