Backup Copy - 4x Disks each one backup

Post by thoko »

Hi everyone,

curently i have 4x 8 TB Disks for my external backup.
They are configured as rotating disks.

At the moment I have to delete the previouse backup myself, everytime I change the disks.
I want this to be done automatically by veeam. One way would be to put the retention policy down to 1, but 2 is the minimum here.
One backup has the size of 6 TB, so I cant do 2x backups on each disks.

Is there a way to tell veeam to delete a previouse backup, if the disk has changed and it detects that there is not enough space? Or is there a workaround to put the retention policy down to 1?
-> Without sending a warning that disk space is low?

Good day @thoko

Can you please explain that part? 'but 2 is the minimum here.'

Hello,

The Rotated drives cleanup feature in VBR V12 is a solution for achieving this.
