We do use the copy function with our backups. This is to provide additional data security by copying the data to a separate location when the primary backups are stored. These copies have also been used in the past for sandbox and DR testing.

Veeam Backup and Replication Copy Data Management
We have used Veeam Backup & Replication for verifying data recoverability and for sandbox testing. We occasionally test our backups by restoring into a sandbox and verifying the VM functionality from restored VMs. We also use the sandbox functionality to test patches and upgrades prior to rolling out those upgrades to the VMs.

Veeam Backup and Replication Copy Data Management
Unlocking the value of the data instead of just storing it waiting for odds is key for our organization. Three basic activities become custom, now that managing replications of the infrastructure with Veeam become so versatile: data recoverability verification, security testing and proof of concept through sandbox environments. The main is the data recoverability verification. It is not on the day of a disaster that you want to discover that you cannot recover one of your servers.
Efficiency for the public money is the main driver pushing us to adopting technology progress specially in IT as soon as they are mature enough for heavy public sector usage; but then not all new technology is suitable for the business. Proof of concept in the adoption of any new technology is a mandatory stop and with Veeam's sandbox testing and environment recreation is easy and quick enough to stay effective.
