Veeam backups to secondary location question

[mdrabble]

I have Veeam installed and running in a single location.

 

After a bit of a re-jig, I now have a server and QNAP NAS box available for a secondary backup location.

 

to hold the latest daily backups and latest monthly backups

 

What is the best method of setting up/using a secondary location in Veeam to hold the only the latest daily backups and latest monthly backups.

 

 

Cheers

Have you tried looking at Backup Copy?

[PotNoodleTech]

Yes you add the NAS / other server to the Veeam server as a datastore and then you can run backup copy jobs to it at whatever schedule you like. You can set up grandfather/father/son type backups, I go for a yearly, a quarterly, a monthly, and a weekly.

[mdrabble]

So create the 2nd location as a standard SMB Share and then add that share as a Backup Repository on the Veeam Server or do I install Veeam on the 2nd Server and setup the Backup Repository?

 

 

Once added I assume I can then use Backup Copy to copy only the latest Weekly backup etc.

Ah... sorted :-) added the to Second Server to the Backup Infrastructure as a Windows Server and then Created a new Backup Repository as Windows Server and selected the Secondary location.

 

Just need to sort the Backup Cop jobs now
