Before Veeam backup, I used to use the Backup Exec, Weekly Full, Daily incremental and Monthly Full Backup. Now I do have Veeam as well as Backup Exec, What I want to achieve is to have Veeam to run Weekly as Full Backup and starting from Sunday towards Thursday as incremental. Backup Exec will backup the VBK and VIB files on a daily basis. For how long shall I configure the retention policy? I’m still a bit confused on how to configure the retention policy.

For how long shall I configure the retention policy?

I noticed, so I came to this blog to check out what's up, and realized your company produces products that compete with Vizioncore's offerings, in particular the Veeam Monitor. vCharter Pro is a nightmare and I wish it would end. I hope I can make contact with you in the next few days, because I'd really like to evaluate Veeam in our environment, and I'm glad to work with a company that allows its engineers to post cool stuff on blogs and twitter without dropping the hammer on them.<br/><br/>DJ Medieval Doug,

You’re following me on twitter. I noticed, so I came to this blog to check out what’s up, and realized your company produces products that compete with Vizioncore’s offerings, in particular the Veeam Monitor. vCharter Pro is a nightmare and I wish it would end. I hope I can make contact with you in the next few days, because I’d really like to evaluate Veeam in our environment, and I’m glad to work with a company that allows its engineers to post cool stuff on blogs and twitter without dropping the hammer on them.
