I’ve read that the lowest tier Veeam allows daily backups to be sent to is the cool storage option. We are looking to keep cloud storage costs as low as possible. I’m thinking about doing weekly or biweekly active fulls to avoid using the health check feature. We are not currently uploading anything to Azure but would like to start soon. The weekly health checks are taking around 24 hours to complete and often end up failing. We have plenty of internet bandwidth to get the full backup uploaded quickly to azure. Combined full backup size of all vms is 10TB. In my organization any VM backups over a few weeks old are useless to us.
I’m looking for some advice on object storage / local backups retention settings, and best practices to keep data from getting corrupted.
