We have Peplink MAX BR2 pro with starlink and 2 sim, is there a way to make sure veeam backup to wasabi uses only 500 GB on starlink for a month and the remaining backup goes via cellular for that month but other traffic can still use starlink for that month

Yes but it requires inControl.

  1. Set Outbound policy for the veeam client to use Starlink
  2. Run an automation that checks for veeam client usage levels using IC2 API on a suitable frequency / cycle.
  3. When usage hits 500GB for your veeam backup client, add a tag to the BR2 pro
  4. The tag changes the outbound policy to a new one that redirects the veem client to cellular.
  5. The automation continues to run, when the new month starts usage is <500GB so it removes the tag and Veeam traffic falls back to starlink
