Hello Team,

I am usually on my lab 🙂

I need to have these service level

there is a lot of options on the storage policies

Actually I used 1 local sp and 1 auxiliary to the other site for each kind of data

What is the better way to do that ?

I saw that there is a basic retention rule and extended rule on storage policies ,maybe I need to play with this settings ?

secondary > site2

Bronze Backup

Silver Backup

Daily Local retention 7 days/ Daily remote retention 14

weekly local 2 weeks or 14days / Weekly remote 8 weeks or 56d

monthly local no/ remote 13 months

Gold Backup

Daily Local retention 14d/ Daily remote retention 14d

weekly local 8 weeks or 56d / Weekly remote 8 weeks or 56d

monthly local no / remote 13 months

Thank you very much for you help !

What is the secondary storage? Tape vs Mag make a difference on how you would want to handle extended retention options. 


Based on your description, use the basic retention for each storage policy copy for the daily and weekly jobs for bronze. For the Gold and Silver tier, use extended retention for the weekly and monthly full in both copies where appropriate.


@Aplynx It is magnetic Storage on primary and secondary !
