Veeam - Backup Copy Question

[CHiLL]

I have a Veeam backup job that backs up a server as reverse incremental and a 30 day retention period. I also have a backup copy job that backs up the same server and is configured with 2 restore points and a 30 day schedule. For the backup copy job, after two months I have three files in the directory; .vbm, .vbk and .vib, I know that these files are the metadata, full backup and incremental backup respectively.

 

If I wanted to manually copy the backup copy job files to the cloud...do I need to copy all three of those files? If I excluded the .vib, would that mean I lose the data from the latest backup?
