How Long Will My Backups Be Kept?
Manual backup: The name of a manual backup is usually in the format of manualbk_xxxx or is customized. If you do not delete manual backups and your account balance is enough, manual backups will always be kept. If your account balance is not enough or not topped up timely, manual backups will be automatically released and cannot be recovered.
Automatic backup: The name of an automatic backup is in the format of autobk_xxxx. If a retention rule has been set in the policy, automatic backups will be kept and deleted based on the retention rule. If the policy's retention rule has been changed during the backup execution, some automatic backups may not be deleted. For details, see Why Does the Retention Rule Not Take Effect After Being Changed?
