Feature Request: Keep Retention for Restore Points until Disk is Full

[agrob]

Good Day

In some cases, Veeam Agent is configured to backup to an USB drive.
In the Retention Settings, i can only configure how much retention points i'll have (correct me if i'm wrong). It is sometimes hard to guess how many retention points should be configured to use the maximum space on the USB drive for backup. It would be nice to have a Retention Point option that VBA can use the whole space on the USB Drive and just remove older retention points when the disk is getting full. Is this technically somehow possible? For example calculating what has change in advance (CBT), then it should be possible to know the needed diskspace for the backup. If there is enough free disk space its fine, if not, remove older Points to free up space.

Thanks

Hello Andre,

Thank you for the feedback! You can estimate it roughly today: full backup is 50% of your source data, while incremental backup should be around 10%. Based on such estimate you can select the proper amount of restore points to keep (additionally you can select daily retention).
