Default Backup Retention Count in RecoveryManager Plus

By default, RecoveryManager Plus stores all AD backups taken, and older backups are not discarded.

To configure a custom retention period,

• Log in to RecoveryManager Plus as an administrator.
• Navigate to Active Directory tab > Settings > Backup Settings.
• Click the icon located in the Actions column of the domain for which you would like to define a retention period.
• Select the frequency at which full backups must be taken from the list of options available: weekly, or monthly.
• Select the frequency at which the incremental backups must be taken from the list of options available: hourly, daily, or weekly.
• Enter the number of full backups to be held in your repository at all times in the Number of Full backups to be retained field.
Note: When the number of full backups in your repository exceeds the retention limit, the oldest full backup and its subsequent incremental backups will be discarded. To disable backup retention, set the retention period as '0' or leave it empty.
• Click Save.
