  • weekday incremental backups - retained for 10 days
  • weekly full backups - retained for 4 weeks
  • monthly full backups - retained for 11 months
  • annual full backups performed at the end of every April - retained for 3 years

The weekly, monthly, and annual backups are full, snapshot backups and do not include incremental changes that occurred between backups.
