Replication and Retention Policies



Each Cloud Backup and Replication job must have a Replication and Retention Policy applied to it.  When you create a job, you can select an existing policy to apply to the job or you can create a new policy and apply it to the job.

You can modify and delete a policy, however, you cannot:

Modify a policy while it is applied to a running job.

Delete a policy while it is applied to any job.
