Servosity Classic Retention Policies

Retention Overview

The Retention setting defines how long files inside the “Retention Area” will be kept on the backup server before they are deleted automatically.

Data enters the retention area when it is deleted from the source machine (the machine being backed up).

By default, newly created accounts will be assigned a 1 year retention period, meaning they'll keep backed up files for 1 year after they've been deleted from the source machine.

Though the default period is 1 year, you also have the option to pick from 4, 7, and 10 year periods.

How to Configure the Retention Period

To configure the retention for a backup account, click the blue Edit link under the Actions column on the far right of your Company Dashboar.

From there, you can select you retention period from the Retention dropdown menu:

Once you've selected the Retention period, click Save to commit the changes.
