I don't use either veeam or Ubuntu but I note that btrbk (which I use)
has a similar concept of storing some snapshots on the disk itself and
only moving a subset of them to the backup disk. I use this to keep
hourly snapshots on the source disk itself and move one of them to the
backup disk per day. The hourly snapshots have proved occasionally
useful when I manage to accidentally delete a chunk of a document I am
working on and then save the file - DOH!
Of course, it isn't so useful if you never knew it existed :-)
