Backup Retention

The number of backups retained is set in the backup retention field. To set it at installation time, use the backup-retention=N option where N is the number of backups to retain.

You can check the number of currently retained backups by looking at the replicator.properties file and searching for the following property:

replicator.storage.agent.fs.retention=3

The default is 3 backups retained at any given time.
