The retention area is space used to store older versions of files and files that you have deleted from your computer. Whenever a file is changed on your computer our backup manager copies the new version to the online backup facility and moves the previously backed up version to the retention area. When you delete a file from your computer our backup manager moves the backed copy to the retention area. Old files remain in the retention area according to the policy set in your backup set. By default old files remain in the retention area for 7 days. Files in the retention area can be restored by selecting an older version of a file when selecting files to be restored.
