The backup retention properties allow you to determine the number of daily, weekly, and monthly backups to preserve. The daily backups are by default kept for 7 days, and are used for the weekly and monthly backups that are retained. There are also properties that govern the day of week for the weekly backup and the date of the month for monthly backup.
Below are the relevant backup properties.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| com.agiliance.admin.backup.BackupManager.MaxRetainedBackups | Allows backup based on the execution of the Daily Backup Job, the default value is set as "7" |
| com.agiliance.backup.dayofWeekToBackupdatabase | Allows backup on the day of the week to be considered, the default value is set as "Friday" |
