How to use Retention Settings

Retention settings allow to specify the duration of time to keep data associated with recovery points stored within a volume. When the specified length of time elapses, the recovery point is deleted with the related associated data.

Retention settings include the current time period. For example, Keep monthlies for 2 months retains monthly recovery point for the current month and also the monthly recovery point for the previous month.

Note: Keeping more recovery points for longer periods of time may result in increased consumption of cloud storage depending on the data change rate between recovery points.
