Hi everyone, During the execution of a backup in Veeam Backup & Replication version 13.0.1.29 , integrated with Prism Central  pc.2024.3.1.14 the snapshot creates a recovery point, and this recovery point has a retention period of 60 days.

I cannot find where this 60-day retention period is configured. I checked the backup job, but I cannot find any information or setting related to this retention.  where this retention is configured? does anybody know?

Hi Mateus, 
I saw those articles, but I didn’t find why the 60 days of retention is set for the recovery point, I would like to understand where this retention is set.
 

thank you anyway.

I believe that is on Nutanix plugin side by default.
