SQL Server - Back up a single database with long retention

[VanillaMastermind]

I have regular backup jobs established for my SQL Servers along with application-aware processing for transaction log backups. If I want to do an extra backup of a database only, such as once a month with a 10 year retention, how would I go about doing that? I am only interested in the database backups for this period, not the filesystem or the server itself.

Hi, I would setup a separate monthly job, and exclude all VM disks except the one containing the database, and then select only required database files to be backed up from this remaining disks using v9 file exclusion functionality. Thanks!

this is old, but so the way you only back up certain databases is by using file level exclusions? seem unrelated and I would think you could choose certain databases.

If you're after excluding certain DB from SQL Log backup, kindly, check this KB article. Thanks.

Thank you. Is this the same for Exchange Databases where they're all on the same drive but certain ones you don't want to backup?
