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.
