Best Practice
Retain the three most recent catalog backups. In most circumstances, you do
not need to retain vaulted catalog backups for the same length of time that
you retain other vaulted backup media. Although you only need one catalog
backup in your offsite vault, for extra protection, maintaining the three most
recent catalog backups in your offsite vault is a good practice. The Recovery
Report for Vault lists only the three most recent catalog backups in the offsite
vault regardless of how many actually reside in the vault.
■ To retain only the three most recent catalog backups, specify an appropriate
retention level so that older catalog backups expire and are recalled from
offsite storage and only the three most recent catalog backups remain in offsite
storage.
