Advanced Retention Policy

The [Advanced] retention policy allows you to configure a more flexible retention policy. It allows you to keep a
set of snapshots of all backup files based on the time of the backup Jobs. For example, you can configure the
advanced retention policy to keep the following sets of backup files to mimic the retention policy of the old days
when you were still doing tape rotations:

All files available within the last 7 days

All files available on the last 4 Saturdays within the last 28 days

All files available on the 1

st

day of each month within the last 3 months
