I have a 2 VMS on Esxi using Veeam to backup on local NAS.
I would like to have replication onto 3 USB Drives for offsite purposes.
how would i accomplish the Backup Copy job using the rotated media, please advise.

Having the backup save to two separate locations wouldn't work like you would want, I dont think. In this case, you would need to use something similar to RoboCopy to execute the copy of the files on the NAS drive to the USB drives after the backups completed. You can look into this for automation or simply copy over the data from the NAS manually after it has completed (increases your efforts).
Hi Mamoon,

Yes you can achieve this, go to Backup Repository > Advanced settings and enabling the This repository is backed up by rotated hard drives option. Veeam will recognize the backup target as a backup repository with rotated drives and use a specific algorithm to make sure that the backup chain created on these drives is not broken.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
You may have this configured by  attaching USB to windows or Linux considering as external drives. Add them as new backup repository.

You might require to create multi job for different location as  you mentioned 3 sites.

Check the below link for further details.

For secondary copy to tape drivers you can follow the below.

@Ajay, please try to add new info that is not already previously mentioned - duplicative answers doesn't help nor does it yield in points. In fact the Endorse button is used to signify, among other things, that an expert has already mentioned something that you would have. :)
