NAKIVO Backup & Replication can create a recovery point (snapshot) on the replica VM after each job run. You can specify the number of recovery points to be retained using the Grandfather-Father-Son (GFS) backup rotation scheme.

Up to 30 recovery points in total can be created on a replica VM.

Use the following options to specify a retention policy:

• Keep x last recovery points: Retains the specified number of last recovery points for each VM in the job.

• Keep one recovery point per day for x days: Retains one last recovery point per day for the specified number of days.

• Keep one recovery point per week for x weeks: Retains the last available backup of every week for the specified number of weeks.

• Keep one recovery point per month for x months: Retains the last available backup of every month for the specified number of months.

• Keep one recovery point per year for x years: Retains the last available backup of every year for the specified number of years.
