-
- The backups are grouped together in so-called safe sets
- Each schedule creates a safe set from which data can be restored
- The storage type defines how many safe sets are stored for how many days
- In principle, 44 safesets are available per job.
Both the storage types and the prioritization in the schedule are crucial.
Please be sure to follow the schedule recommendations

| 1. | 12_months | 365 Days | 11 | Days of the month | 1x | Retention 1 year, usually 12 copies (but deletion also after 1 year if a monthly copy could not be made due to being offline). | 12 |
| 2. | 30_days | 30 Days | 30 | Days of the week | 7x | notempty Note time Same time as daily backup! If the monthly backup and the daily backup are scheduled at the same time in the specified order, this will result in the daily backup not occurring once a month because the monthly backup is being performed at that moment. |
