How many restore points are available in your standard backup retention or for immutable backups?

Q: How many restore points are available in your standard backup retention or for immutable backups?

Here are the number of restore points based on the default (non-immutable) retention policy versus a yearly immutable retention for a typical 1 year contract.

Immutable backups are write-once read many (WORM) backups that cannot be deleted before retention expiry, not even by FileHold.

 

FileHold Cloud Standard:

Daily Retention = 14
Weekly Retention = 12
Monthly Retention = 60
Yearly Retention = 10
Overlap Retention 5+3+2 = 10
Total Restore Points 96-10 = 86

The most recent 26 restore points are stored in vault-standard storage, and the remainder are stored in vault-archive.

 

Immutable Retention for a 1 year customer contract:

Daily Retention = 14
Weekly Retention = 12
Monthly Retention = 12
Overlap Retention 3+2 = 5
Total Restore Points 38-5 = 33

All restore points would be stored in vault-standard storage.
** Costs of orphaned Immutable retention into year 2 will incur small premium.
