Create Data Retention Policies
Data is retained based on a traditional grandfather-father-son (daily-weekly-monthly) rotation model. You can specify how long to keep daily,
weekly, monthly, and yearly backups by creating data retention policies. Different retention policies can be created for different sets of data
including files, data backed up by the Barracuda Backup Agent (Exchange, SQL, System State), and email messages.
You can create one policy for all of the computers and data sources on a Barracuda Backup Server or multiple policies that each include some
subset of the data.
To set retention policies:

Select the desired setting, and click .Removed Files Rule Save
When data is removed according to a retention policy, it is deleted from both the local Barracuda Backup Server and the offsite storage
locations. Removed files that have been backed up using Network File Shares Protocol or SSHFS may be retained for a longer period of
time, according to the configuration. Otherwise, once your data has been purged, it is gone forever. Purging applies to historic file revisions
only; your current data is not impacted by a retention policy.
