To set or view retention goals and limits

Notes: Modifying a client’s or application’s retention settings on the Backup Retention page updates these settings on any computer-level backup schedules that have been created for the client or application(s).

To set retention for a replication target, switch to replication view before starting this procedure (see To show replication view).

1        Select Settings > Storage and Retention > Backup Retention.

2        Select the Unitrends system in the Navigation pane to see retention settings for all clients and databases. If desired, select an individual Navigation pane item to see only it and its sub-items’ retention settings.

3        On the Retention Settings pane, highlight individual machines or applications and enter the desired number of days in the Min Retention Goal, the Max Retention Limit, and Legal Hold fields.

4        If a machine or application has a triangle beside it, expand to set goals and limits for any associated items. Entering the goal and limit for the main item on a tree and clicking Apply configures the same settings for all the sub-items. Otherwise, sub-items can be set individually.

5        Click Confirm to save the changes.
