Explanation

According to the Veeam Backup & Replication best practice guide1, a new copy job mode was added called immediate copy. This mode immediately starts the backup copy job as soon as restore points appear in the repository. It also provides the ability to copy SQL and Oracle log backups which is not possible with traditional periodic backup copy12. Therefore, if you want to create a secondary copy of all the backups including transaction logs, you should use an immediate copy backup copy job. The simplest configuration would be a single immediate copy backup copy job for all workloads (option B).
