Retention Policies

Backups created by jobs are not kept forever — they are removed according to retention policy settings specified while creating the jobs as described in section Creating Backup Jobs .

Restore points in the backup chain can be stored only for the allowed period of time. If a restore point is older than the specified time limit, Veeam Plug-in for Scale Computing HyperCore removes it from the backup chain.

To learn how Veeam Plug-in for Scale Computing HyperCore applies retention policies to forever forward incremental and forward incremental backup chains, see Backup Retention .
