Keep what matters. Archive what doesn’t.
The Retention Policy in Cloudsfer Backup helps you automatically archive old or unnecessary data, either based on how old the files are or how many versions you want to keep. For instance;
You decide:
Files older than ‘X’ days should be archived.(e.g., 30, 60, or 180 days)
Or how many past versions to keep (e.g., last 3 versions)
Step-by-step guide to set it up:
Log in to your Cloudsfer account.
Select ‘Backup & Restore’
Under ‘Source’ select BIM 360, click connect, and authorize
Select the file/folder you want to backup
Select your ‘Target’ and click connect
Select the location where you want your backup
Click ‘Create Backup’
Configure the backup project
Backup Title
Enter a backup title
Backup Retention
Select if you want to archive by days or version
After choosing your options, click ‘ok.
Choose your preferred date, time, and days for initial backup
Then, select when you want to run the backup task, check the box, and click ‘Schedule’.
Now, your backup has been scheduled and will run on the date and time you selected.
Note: Each night, an automated process will check for files that do not comply with the defined policy. Any such files will be automatically moved to the designated archive folder. Cloudsfer will not delete them. You will retain full control and can decide whether to delete them or keep them archived.
An email notification will be sent to inform you of the archived files.
This is the target location where the backed-up files are stored.
