The backup jobs and the savepoints created by vRanger Backup & Replication have the following characteristics:
The retention policy differs between the incremental and the differential backups due to the following:
An incremental backup job with 7 minimum savepoints and 6 ones before performing a new full backup can have a maximum of 13 savepoints in the repository before the retention policy is applied:
