Usage scenarios
Reliable disaster recovery (p. 71)
Store your backups both on-site (for immediate recovery) and off-site (to secure the backups
from local storage failure or a natural disaster).
Keeping only the latest recovery points (p. 71)
Delete older backups from a fast storage according to retention rules, in order to not overuse
expensive storage space.
Reduced costs of storing the backed up data
Store your backups on a fast storage for as long as a need to access them is likely. Then, move
them to a lower-cost storage to keep them there for a longer term. This enables you to meet
legal requirements on data retention.
Replication and retention in backup schemes
The following table shows availability of replication and retention rules in various backup schemes.

Notes:
Setting up both copying and moving backups from the same location is not possible.
With simplified naming of backup files (p. 48), neither replication nor use of retention rules is
available.
