Retention
Use retention policies to define the length of time you retain historic data based on daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly time intervals. Create retention policies for different sets of data.
Data backed up using Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup retention treats Sunday as the end of the week in accordance with the ISO data standard. Revision data is retained based on the date the file is removed. For example, if a file was backed up on January 1 and the retention policy is configured to hold onto data for 7 daily revisions, if the file is modified or removed at any point, the revision is held onto for 7 additional days after this action.
To retain weekly, monthly, and yearly revisions, Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup ages forward files that are not created specifically at the end of the week, month, or year to be recoverable as part of these revisions.
You can create one policy for all data sources or create multiple policies for different sets of data. Use the Backup > Retention Policies page to define content retention rules:
- Policy name – Enter a name to identify the policy.
