Snapshot Retention for the Cloud Backup Service
Each CTERA Gateway and CTERA Agent that uses the Cloud Backup service is assigned a dedicated backup folder in the CTERA Portal, which serves as the block destination for the gateway or Agent.
When a CTERA Gateway or CTERA Agent initiates a Cloud Backup job, the CTERA Portal automatically creates a snapshot of the gateway's or Agent's backup folder. The snapshot's timestamp is the time at which the Cloud Backup job was initiated by the client.
