  • CSBS provides time-based retention rules, making backup space management more flexible.

    About the Function:

    You can configure the validity period of backups and then the system will delete expired backups automatically. You can choose to retain backups for one month, three months, six months, or one year, or for any desired number of days.

    Configuration Description:

    A backup policy with more frequent backups, a larger number retained backups, or a longer backup retention duration provides a higher level protection, while requiring more storage space. For this reason, we advise you to use such policy to back up your critical data.
