+1Anyone can help me to understand about this picture?
When the tape retention is over then backup day 1 will be removed and this mean 1st full backup wlll be removed. Then how we can restore the VM to the Monday? Isn’t restoring the incremental need the last full backup?
+5Tapes that contain restore points still within retention will not be marked as expired until the final point before the next Virtual (Think synthesized) Full goes out of retention.

Let say my tape retention id 90 with asuming every month is 30 days and the virtual full backup will happen on 1st day every month. So the timeline is :
Day 91 is the retention is over and veeam will delete full backup on Day 1? Or veeam will postpone deletion Day 1 until next 30 days?
+5The full created on Day 1 is required until day 30's incremental is 90 days old.
So day 1's full will not be marked as expired until day 121.

During the retention period, Veeam Backup & Replication will not overwrite data on tape. If a tape contains several backup sets, it will expire when the backup set with the longest retention period expires.
Tape will be expired as soon as the backup set with LONGEST retention set on tape meets retention. (e.g., retention date for the backup set is furthest in the future) There is no retention for individual backups on tape, retention is applied to tapes themselves.
Once the backup set with longest retention on a tape is expired, tape is eligible for overwrite.
If you have 90 day retention on tape and do:
Day 1 Any backup
Day 45 Any Backup
Day 89 Any backup
Tape is written to full, no more data can be added
Tape will be expired on day 90+89, and at that point be eligible for overwrite.
