Retention Policy Example
Use retention policies to define the length of time you retain historic data based on daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly time intervals. Think of
retention policies in terms of your ability to restore data backed up in the past. For example, you have a retention timeline that keeps daily
backups for five days, weekly backups for two weeks, monthly backups for six months, and yearly backups for one year:
A revision is created when the data being backed up is changed. For example, if you backup a file every day and no changes are made for a
week, and then you make a change to that file the next week, there is only one revision for that file. The revision is kept through five more
changes to the data, and when a sixth change is made, the oldest revision "graduates" to a weekly revision, and that new sixth change becomes
a daily revision. This means there are five daily revisions and one weekly revision, or six total revisions. The seventh change to that file will then
force the oldest revision to graduate and then there will be five daily and two weekly revisions. When the eighth revision is made, the oldest
revision graduates to the monthly revision, so there are five daily, two weekly, and one monthly revision:
