Future of Restore Point-Based Retention in Backup Jobs

Post by alwubfje »

As I understand it, starting with Veeam Backup & Replication v13, new Backup Jobs can only be configured with time-based retention. However, Backup Jobs that were originally configured with restore point-based retention in v12 continue to function after upgrading to v13.

Could you please clarify the future direction of this feature?
  • Is it correct to understand that Backup Jobs configured with restore point-based retention remain fully supported in v13 and will continue to be supported throughout the v13 support period?
  • Is there any plan to deprecate or completely remove support for restore point-based retention in v14 or later versions?
We are currently evaluating long-term retention design options and would like to understand whether existing restore point-based retention jobs can be relied upon going forward.
