How can I monitor the application of retention policies?
BDRShield offers several ways to monitor the application of retention policies:
Retention Reports: BDRShield generates detailed reports that provide information on the retention process, including which recovery points were retained or deleted. These reports can be accessed through the BDRShield console and give you insight into how your configured retention policies are being applied.
Logs: The backup and retention activities are also logged in BDRShield. You can review the logs to see when retention was applied, which recovery points were affected, and ensure that your configured policies are being followed as expected.
These monitoring options provide transparency and control over how retention policies impact your backup data, ensuring that you maintain an efficient and compliant backup environment.
