Keep backups: 
Specifies how long you want the backups to be stored in the archive. A 
term can be set in hours, days, weeks, months, or years. For monthly 
backups, you can also select Keep indefinitely if you want them to be 
saved forever. 
The default values for each backup type are as follows. 
Daily: 1 week (recommended minimum) 
Weekly: 1 month (1 month for keeping backups is equal to four weeks) 
Monthly: indefinitely 
The retention period for weekly backups must exceed that for daily 
backups; the monthly backups' retention period must be greater than 
the weekly backups' retention period. 
We recommend setting a retention period of at least one week for daily 
backups. 
 
At all times, a backup is not deleted until all backups that directly depend on it become subject to deletion as 
well. This is why you might see a weekly or a monthly backup remain in the archive for a few days past its 
expected expiration date. 
If the schedule starts with a daily or a weekly backup, a full backup is created instead. 
Examples 
Each day of the past week, each week of the past month 
Let us consider a GFS backup scheme that many may find useful. 
• 
Back up files every day, including weekends 
• 
Be able to recover files as of any date over the past seven days 
• 
Have access to weekly backups of the past month 
• 
Keep monthly backups indefinitely. 
Backup scheme parameters can then be set up as follows. 
• 
Start backup at: 11:00 PM 
• 
Back up on: All days 
• 
Weekly/monthly: Saturday (for example) 
• 
Keep backups: 
o
 
Daily: 1 week 
o
 
Weekly: 1 month 
o
 
Monthly: indefinitely 
As a result, an archive of daily, weekly, and monthly backups will be created. Daily backups will be 
available for seven days since creation. For instance, a daily backup of Sunday, January 1, will be
