NOTE:
Administrators should note that frequent backups can have an impact on network traffic. Other
factors affecting network traffic include other transfers (such as replication), the change rate of your data,
and your network hardware, cables and switches.
The Core comes preset with a default retention policy. The default policy works retains:
•
All recovery points for three days
•
One recovery point per hour for two days
•
One recovery point per day for four days
•
One recovery point per week for three weeks
•
One recovery point per month for two months
•
One recovery point per year for X years (disabled in default policy).
Following this default policy, the oldest recovery point is typically 92 days old. Data past that origination date for a
default policy is deleted.
Setting the retention policy at the Core level applies automatically to all machines that the Core protects. You can
change the default policy to suit your needs.
For any machine, you can also create a custom retention policy. Setting the policy at the machine level lets you
specify a different retention policy than the default Core policy. For more information about configuring retention
policies, see

Configuring Core default retention policy settings
The retention policy for the Core specifies how long the recovery points for a protected machine are stored in the
repository.
The Core retention policy is enforced by a rollup process which is performed as one component of running nightly
jobs. Then, recovery points beyond the age specified in the retention policy are “rolled up” (combined) into fewer
recovery points that cover a less granular period of time. Applying the retention policy on a nightly basis results in
the ongoing rollup of aging backups. This eventually results in the deletion of the oldest recovery points, based on
the requirements specified in that retention policy.
Different retention settings can be configured for source and target Cores.
NOTE:
This topic is specific to customizing retention policy settings on the Rapid Recovery Core. When
you save customized retention policy settings on the Core, you establish the default retention policy
settings which can be applied to all machines protected by this Core. For more information on customizing
retention policy settings for individual protected machines, see
