The organization has a strategy to copy its VM and Agent backups to the alternate site. The backup administrator has requested to implement a similar backup copy strategy for unstructured data backups with 10 additional days of retention.
Which configuration is correct?
The correct option is 'Periodic backup copy.' This configuration is appropriate because it aligns with the strategy to have backup copies (including those with additional days of retention) at an alternate site. Options like 'File to tape job' and 'File share backup job' don't specifically address the requirement to copy backups to an alternate site. 'File share copy job' is not applicable for unstructured data backups in this context, whereas 'Periodic backup copy' caters to the need for an ongoing backup strategy, ensuring that files are consistently copied and additional retention is managed effectively.

Its B https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/file_share_backup_job_secondary_target.html?ver=120
click secondary target - Advanced on backup job and set to custom retention so B is the answer
Fileshares and objectstorage are unstructured backups, Unstructured backups dont have a copy job possibility. So its B
Backup copy is a job-driven process. To copy backups, you need to configure backup copy jobs. The backup copy job defines when, what, how and where to copy. For more information on how to create backup copy jobs, see Creating Backup Copy Jobs for VMs and Physical Machines. Note that to copy file share backups, you need to configure a file backup job, not the backup copy job. For more information, see Creating File Backup Jobs. https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/about_backup_copy.html?ver=120
The issue with B is that this option is used for the initial backup of file shares but does not specifically address the need to copy these backups to an alternate site or manage additional retention, which is required in the question
copy its VM and Agent backups to the alternate site 10 additional days of retention for unstructured data backups B. File share backup job

For additional restore points, backup copy is required

Copy for unstructured data backup, this said we already have a backup job for the file share. Thats why its C https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/unstructured_data_backup_copy_backups.html?ver=120
Nevermind, its B. You can specify the Retention for a secondary copy in the main Backup job of the file Share.

Since the backup administrator wants to implement a similar backup strategy for unstructured data (such as files on shares) and maintain an additional 10 days of retention at an alternate site, the File share copy job is the right choice.
