Backup Schedule option | How long will the backed-up data be retained? |
---|---|
Schedule a backup every: *Day | Default Retention: Equivalent to the “retention in days for daily backups” Exception: If a daily scheduled backup set for long term retention (Weeks, Months, Years) fails, then an adhoc backup triggered right after this failed scheduled backup is considered for long-term retention. Otherwise, the next scheduled backup is considered for long-term retention. Example: If (say) the scheduled backup taken on Thursday 8:00 am fails and the same backup was to be considered for Weekly/Monthly/Yearly retention, then the first adhoc backup triggered before the next scheduled backup (say) Friday, 8:00 am would be automatically tagged for Weekly/Monthly/Yearly retention as applicable to the Thursday 8:00 am backup. |
Schedule a backup every: *Weekly | Default Retention: 1 day Adhoc Backups taken for a data source with weekly Backup policy are deleted the very next day, even if they are the most recent Backups for the data source. Exception: If a weekly scheduled backup set for long term retention (Weeks, Months, Years) fails, then an adhoc backup triggered right after this failed scheduled backup is considered for long-term retention. Otherwise, the next scheduled backup is considered for long-term retention. Example: If (say) the scheduled backup taken on Thursday 8:00 am fails and the same backup was to be considered for Monthly/Yearly retention, then the first adhoc backup triggered before the next scheduled backup (say) Thursday, 8:00 am would be automatically tagged for Monthly/Yearly retention as applicable to the Thursday 8:00 am backup |
