Veeam Backup and Replication Standard

[kidpressingbuttons]

Currently playing around with file copy on Veeam B&R trial while I wait for finance to buy my full license.

I need to replicate the backups from one of my servers to the other. This seems simple enough but I want it to remove the old copies of any backups that have replicated over in the past.

Is there any way of doing this?

 

I am to replicate the backups from my main back up server once a month to another server in another building.

How do you mean? So you want:

 

A to backup server stored locally on A

A then replicates backup to B

A deletes backup, leaving B with it on?

I thought File Copy did this? (Otherwise they'd rapidly be out of space in my school that does something similar).

Sorry could of made this more clear.

 

back up to A

Copy backups to B once a month

Remove previous months backup on B before copying new ones

[Steve21]

Don't use filecopy at all then, use backupcopy and just set the amount of backups you want kept in the options
