Retention setting |
Description |
Keep Backup for minimum N Days |
Minimum retention goal, in days. This setting does not guarantee retention for the defined period. As new backups run, these backups may be deleted to reclaim space. If a backup must be deleted before meeting this minimum goal, a notification is sent indicating the desired goal is not being met. To guarantee minimum retention, use the Do not delete backups for N Days setting instead. |
Delete backups after N Days |
Number of days after which the appliance will delete backups. Backups are eligible to be deleted once the full has exceeded this limit. At this point, the full and all associated incrementals and differentials in the group are deleted. |
Do not delete backups for N Days |
Number of days backups must be retained. Backups that are younger than N days are not purged for any reason, including at the expense of new, incoming backups. The age of a backup is determined by the last backup in the group, e.g., the last incremental before a new full. After passing this limit, the Keep Backup for minimum N Days and Delete backups after N Days settings take effect to determine retention. |
Never delete backups | Check this box to retain backups forever. This retains the full backup and any associated incrementals and differentials in the backup group. |
