How to check the expiration date of a restore point in VBR v12.
We are in Veeam Backup & Replication 12.
Would we show the exact expiration date of a restore point in VBR?

Hello bckvc,

Unfortunately there is no such information in the UI today. I've added your vote to this feature request, thank you!

In general you can go to back properties, check the restore point creation date and add the amount of days set in the retention properties - that would be the date when restore point could be removed.

For example: Testvm.vm-698393D2023-12-12T013714_D8DD.vbk
The restore point backup date is 12/12/2023 1:30:23AM

If the retention period is set to 14 days, what is the actual time of the restore point deletion? Should be 26/12/2023 1:30:23AM or the end of 26/12/2023

The restore point expires at 1:30:23AM and then should be removed by retention. Retention is performed during the job run, so the next start of the job should remove or merge such restore point; keep in mind that if such restore point for example is a part of backup chain with periodic full backup there will be no merge operation and restore point will be removed together with entire backup chain when the latest restore point in such chain is expired.
