Journal Retention Periods

SecondSite subscriptions include a 24hr retention journal period. This allows customers to restore their protected VMs to any point during the retention period.

Customers can elect to purchase a longer retention period by changing the ?Service Profile? via the Zerto console for the corresponding Virtual Protection Group (VPG). Selecting a longer period requires more storage that can be purchased in advanced otherwise it will be charged at a later stage.


Longer retention periods are audited and charged monthly in arrears.
