Backup Scheduler: Every Hour (20:00–23:00) ========================================== Overview -------- This scheduler is designed to create remote backups every hour, but only during a defined evening window—from 20:00 to 23:00 (8 PM to 11 PM), in the Europe/London timezone. The retention policy retains backups for the last seven days, ensuring there is a full week of hourly backups within the evening window. Older ones are automatically deleted to save space. Scheduler Configuration ------------------------ - **Backups per day:** 4 (once every hour between 20:00 and 23:00) - **Retention window:** 7 days - **Total retained backups at any time:** 4 × 7 = 28 backups - **Old backups:** Automatically deleted after 7 days Snapshot Timeline (1 Year) ----------- - **Backups per day:** 4 (once every hour between 20:00 and 23:00) - **Retention window:** 7 days - **Total retained backups at any time:** 4 × 7 = 28 backups - Backups older than 7 days are automatically deleted.
