Default version frequency and retention settings
Organization administrators can set the frequency at which a new version of a file is backed up, how many different versions of a file are kept, and how long old versions and deleted files are retained. Here are the default settings:
- UTBackup will check a file for changes and, if changed, will back up a new version every 15 minutes.
- For one week, all backed up versions are kept.
- After one week, UTBackup will keep one version per day for 90 days.
- After 90 days, UTBackup will keep one version per week for one year.
- After one year, UTBackup will keep one version per month indefinitely.
- If a file is deleted, UTBackup will keep a copy of the file for 30 days.
Administrators can change these settings for their organizations using the web console. While viewing your organization details, choose Device Defaults... from the gear menu. On the General tab, uncheck Use device defaults from parent.
Then change frequency and version settings on the Backup tab.
