thanks for the reply, the solution deployed for on-premise, all servers are VM's and synology NAS is for destination. wanted to apply the best backup practice where daily can be restored for last 10/15 days and monthly can be restored for last 12 months , not sure if this is good to go, please suggest me.
Keep in mind the 3-2-1 Backup rule
At least:
3 copies of data
2 different storage media
1 offsite

Veeam allows you to use reverse incrementals to keep daily backups as long as you want, but be able to do a fast restore from the latest backup when required.
So to answer your question, the "best practice backup and retention policy" is whatever your business requires. And "best way to rotate" doesn't seem to apply because you are backing up to disk, so there is nothing to rotate.
