both before and after the retention schedule is defined – is deleted at the defined daily interval. 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 only apply to backups completed after the
change to the policy's retention schedule.
WeeklyandMonthlyRetentionSchedules
Weekly and monthly retention schedules only affect backups that occur after the schedule is defined for
the policy. Data backed up before a policy's weekly or monthly retention schedule is defined remains in
the NAS target.
Multiple Retention Schedules
You can set SmartMotion backup and retention schedules to run daily, weekly, monthly, annually, or on any
combination of those intervals.
When setting multiple schedules, keep the following in mind:
l Backups occur for the shortest interval of time defined.
l All retention schedules are followed.
Example
You schedule a backup policy to run both daily and weekly. The actual backups occur every day
because that is the shorter of the two defined intervals.
The daily schedule's retention is set for 8 days, and the weekly schedule's retention is set for 5 weeks
with Sunday being the day on which to retain backup data. The vmPRO appliance backs up data
every day, and it deletes data every 8 days, excluding data backed up on the last 5 Sundays. This
data is retained for 5 Sundays due to the weekly retention schedule.
