which to retain backed-up data. After the indicated number of days

passes, the backed-up data is deleted from the storage target.

Example

In the RetainVMsfor X days field, you enter 10. The backup

runs daily at the indicated time, retaining all stored data in the

storage target for 10 days. After 10 days, the backed-up data is

deleted from the storage target. The backup and retention

schedule continues on this 10-day interval.

Caution:If you define a new daily retention schedule for a backup

policy, all data backed up through this policy – both before and after

the retention schedule is defined – is deleted at the interval you

have defined. If you do not want to delete data backed up prior to

defining the retention schedule, define a weekly or monthly

retention schedule instead. Weekly and monthly schedules apply

only to backups completed after the change to the policy's retention

schedule.
