Cleaning up our setup: Multiple Jobs or one for all?

[DonHansDampf]

Greetings,

i am trying to clean our amateurish veeam setup. We are running Veeam Backup&Replication 9.5 Enterprise Edition on a Windows 7 64-Bit VM. We have 3 EXSi-Hypervisor and one Off-Site Disk Storage.

All Production VMs are running on one EXSi. Top Level VMs like the mail-server and the DC are replicated via Veeam from one Hypervisor to another one. I guess all three VMs should be replicated with one Job and 2 restore Points should be enough to save disk space?
Other VMs are transferred via Forward Incremental Backup in multiple Jobs. No active full backups. These jobs run daily.We also have some VMs which are needed to be backed up monthly in a seperate Job which starts every month. Our Backup Copy is configured to keep 14 restore points and 12 monthly backups.

I have the feeling this setup doesn't work out and was set up foolish. We don't have monthly backups. Instead we have weekly backups on the off site storage. I think the multiple monthly backups are not needed.

All i want are 14 daily Restore Points of every VM on Backup Location 1. So i create one Forward Incremental Backup Job for all VMs with a daily schedule and synthetic full backups on sunday. In some posts i read that active full backups are not needed.

For longtime monthly backups on the Backup Location 2 i remove the old monthly backups and instead create a backup copy job. Holding 14 Restore points: 12 monthly and 2 yearly on each first sunday.

Is this the right approach?

Hope you can help me out. Thanks!

You suggestions make sense, however, whether this approach is right or not should be decided based on required RPO. Also, please review this thread for some hints on whether active fulls are required or not. Thanks.
