Backup configuraiton for rotated USB repository

Post by TMCentral Tech »

I've got 2 VMs that I'm backing up with Veeam Agent to a backup repository that consists of 2 external USB. I'm currently running out of space on my USB because it's taking more full backups than I'd like and the backup set is ~2 TB. How would I configure the backup job to store one full and 10 incremental or differential backups per USB and so once the 1 full + 10 incrementals have been performed, the entire set of 11 backups is deleted during the next full backup?

Hi TMCentral,

Welcome to Veeam Community Forums!

Could you please answer a few questions below so we would have a full picture?
1. Is the agent managed by the backup server or performs in standalone mode?
2. Have you already configured rotated drives?
3. What are the backup job retention settings and schedule?
4. What product editions do you use?

Thanks
