Recycle bin

Explanation

This feature is for protection of the BAK (block) files stored in the Backup Set’s destination, allows the user to set the number of days BAK files that were deleted due to Retention Policy or Data Integrity Check, will be held under Recycle Bin as added protection.

This is how the Recycle Bin will treat deleted data:

• Data in the Recycle Bin will consume Quota.
• It does not move the data in another location within the storage, instead the index tracks the xxxxxx.bak files and the remaining time in the Recycle Bin.
• If the index is reverted to a previous timestamp, the settings of the Recycle Bin in the reverted index will be followed.
• Recoverability of data is not affected when the Recycle Bin is alternately enabled or disabled.
  • When enabled, it will only check if the data inside the Recycle Bin is still within the set number of days. Once it is beyond the set number of days it will only be deleted when the following operations are run: Backup, Space Freeing Up, Data Integrity Check and Delete Backup Data.
  • When disabled, if there are already deleted files it will not automatically delete the data inside the Recycle Bin. It will remain in the Recycle Bin even if it is beyond the set number of days. It will only be deleted when the following operations are run: Backup, Space Freeing Up, Data Integrity Check and Delete Backup Data.
• Once the Recycle Bin is disabled, deleted files will be removed immediately and will not be moved in the Recycle Bin.
• The setting applies to all destinations for the backup set.
• Viewing Recycle Bin contents is not available.
• Recycle Bin cleanup is done at the start of the backup job process.
• Recovering from Recycle Bin requires reverting the index.

1. Go to Backup Sets, then select a backup set.
