The problem
Keeping only the latest backup can make it impossible to recover from a problem discovered late.
Recommended approach
Use retention periods that match business needs and the expected time to discover data corruption or accidental deletion.
Step-by-step checklist
- Identify recovery history requirements.
- Set daily retention.
- Add weekly/monthly points as needed.
- Monitor storage growth.
- Test recovery from older points.
