a. Select the Annual tab to run backups and retain data on an annual

basis.

b. Select the Enabletheannualbackupschedule check box to

activate your backup and retention schedule.

c. In the RetainVMsfrom field, select one of the following:

l Specificdate – Use to define a specific date on which to run

backups and begin the retention period. In the subsequent drop-

down lists, select the specific month and day.

l Thefirstbackupoftheyear – Use to begin the retention period

on the first backup of the year.

l Thelastbackupoftheyear – Use to begin the retention period

on the last backup of the year.

Caution:An annual backup is scheduled only if you select

the Specificdate option. Use Thefirstbackupofthe

year and lastbackupoftheyear options to define

retention policies only, and then schedule backups to run

daily or weekly.

d. In the RetainVMsfor X years field, enter the number of years for

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

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

Example

l You select Thelastbackupoftheyear.

l In the RetainVMsfor X years field, you enter 1.

l You schedule backups to run weekly on Fridays.

The backup runs every week on Fridays, retaining all stored

data for 1 year. After 1 year of backups, the backed-up data is

deleted from the storage target, with the exception of the last

Friday backup of the year. The backup and retention schedules

continue, backing up data every Friday and deleting stored data

every year before the last Friday of the year.

Note:Setting any retention period to zero will keep backed-up data indefinitely.

4. Click OK to save your backup and retention schedules and return to the ConfigureSmartMotion
