Immutable Cloud Backup Veeam Jobs

[webbobfc]

Hi All,

 

We are looking at using Veeam Cloud Connect to run some backup jobs to an immutable cloud storage (yet to be decided who). I'm just wondering how other schools set their Veeam jobs to backup to the cloud repository to minimise space usage\bandwidth etc and I'm trying to work out how much space we will need. Are you running daily or weekly backups with incremental, and what sort or retention policies are you setting for the jobs? I am thinking about a weekly backup with a 4 week retention as this is just for a worst case disaster recovery purposes for key servers Sims\DC etc. We already have immutable onsite and cold backups in addition our regular daily backups.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Following as I wrote initial quotation invites last week.

 

I'm asking them to suggest what I do, with their knowledge and experience based on xTB of raw data, xTB of compressed 'full' (de-duped synthetic) data and xGB of nightly increments.

 

Then i'll decide, and re-tender to all three with a fixed tender.
