Storing Retention Sets

Retention sets are kept on the configured Repository for the retention period specified as part of the Retention Policy configuration.

The same retention set might be marked as a relevant copy for several retention periods. For example, it can be a retention set used for both a monthly copy as well as a yearly one.

Once a retention-set expires (i.e. all configured retention periods are not referencing it), it is removed from the system. Once a day, Zerto scans the Repository and deletes retention sets which expired.
