Way to speed up testing of immutable cycle from harden repo?

[sacy]

Hi all

Is there a way to speed up testing immutability cycle ? Like 7daily retainion and 7days immutability. Techincally I should have 14 copys of backups full + inc chained. Can I change it to 2daily retainion and 2days immutability?? I just want to confirm the amount of copy's of backup store in the repo. And to confirm that veeam will deal with the expire copys of backup.

Hi Steven

The minimum retention of a hardened repository is 7 days. Setting immutability to 2 days is not possible.
But you may play with synthetic full schedule. If you create daily synthetic fulls, then the restore points should be deleted on day 8/9 instead of day 14.

I just want to confirm the amount of copy's of backup store in the repo.

With a retention of 7 days and weekly full backups, you will see 7-14 Restore Points for each machine.

And to confirm that veeam will deal with the expire copys of backup.

The retention process will work, or hundred-thousands of our customers would have opened Cases with our customer support already.

Best,
Fabian

it more of testing and figure out how it work. 7days kind of long. . i understand, but it just for personal testing. to learn more about how veeam work, so that i can easier to explain to customer, to bring in projects
