What retention policies are available?

Flexible, snapshot-based retention: keep backups by days, weeks, months or years [ALIGN WITH FR], applied automatically to every snapshot. Combined with Object Lock immutability, retention is not just a housekeeping rule — it is the guaranteed lifespan of your restore points.

Retention is flexible and snapshot-based: keep backups by days, weeks, months or years, with policies applied automatically to every snapshot.

 

You define the rules once; Cybee enforces them, including the cleanup of expired restore points.

 

Retention combines with storage classes to keep costs rational: recent snapshots on hot storage for fast restores, older ones on cooler, cheaper classes.

 

Crucially, retention is protected: with S3 Object Lock, snapshots within their retention period can be neither modified nor deleted — retention is not just a housekeeping rule, it is the guaranteed lifespan of your restore points, even against a malicious actor.
