Abstract
The disclosure provides methods and systems for adaptive data retention. According to an embodiment, data backups are acquired from a protected computing device, and stored on a backup computing device. A retention policy is applied to selectively prune the data backups stored on the backup computing device. At least one reliability metric is used to decide to continue pruning according to a nominal schedule or prune according to a less aggressive schedule.
