Veeam Backup & Replication will apply a retention policy that is set to the file backup job.
Veeam Backup & Replication will apply an encryption key that is set to the file backup job.
Veeam Backup & Replication will copy data to the repository continuously.

$job = Get-VBRUnstructuredBackupJob -Name "NFS Backup"

$srepo = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "Repository 09"

$secondary = New-VBRUnstructuredBackupSecondaryTarget -BackupRepository $srepo

Set-VBRNASBackupJob -Job $job -EnableSecondaryTarget:$true -SecondaryTarget $secondary
