Specific limitation for Quick Backup

[Yukinobu]

Quick Backup is very useful.

But we cannot set max retention for quick backup.
So if user perform quick backup many times, total backup size is increased.

Do you know a good idea for limiting the number and size, etc.?

Hello,
By the definition Quick Backup is not a full-fledged backup and its incremental backups are not counted as restore points because the contain data of selected VM(s).

So if user perform quick backup many times, total backup size is increased.

Quick backup restore points will be deleted when the job has predefined number of full-fledged restore points in the chain. So, my advice is to set retention policy for backup jobs accordingly. Thanks.

Just our of curiosity why do user can run quick backup many times? In order to do some test with production VM? Why not to use on-demand sandbox instead?
