If you create backups on a daily basis as recommended, you should configure a backup retention policy to maintain the backups created. It is recommended to maintain at least 2 weeks (14 days) of backups including backups on your Secure Storage server. This approach will provide you with a sufficient number of backups to recover from an Active Directory failure that remained undetected for some time.
