      Our infrastructure is:

      1. On premise xcp-ng production server (Windows VMs)
      2. On premise xcp-ng DR server
      3. DSL broadband connectivity (100/40)
      4. Wasabi account for offsite storage

      My goals are:

      • Hourly backups (8am till 8pm)
      • Offsite storage to Wasabi

      I have an idea of how to implement but I would appreciate any input.

      My thoughts are:

      1. Hourly CR to DR server (@ 8am till 8pm) - Retention 84
      2. Weekly full to DR server (@ Sunday 8pm) - Retention 1
      3. Daily delta to Wasabi (@ 8pm) - Retention 90
      4. Quarterly full to Wasabi (Jan, April, July Oct 1st day @ 8pm) - Retention 4

      Should 1 & 2 be part of the same backup job and have 3 & 4 part of a separate backup job?

      Does having 2 & 4 as full backups jobs reset the chain length to avoid potential chain corruption?

      Due to bandwidth constraints can I restrict the upload to after hours?
