Hello Experts !<br />
<br />
For backup purposes we have setup windows backup but the problem is that now there is no more space in the disk.<br />
<br />
I am trying to find a solution to change the retention policy on a Windows 2012 R2 server but I couldn't find anything regadring this setting !<br />
<br />
It would be also great if I could delete older backups just to free some space on the drive.<br />
<br />
Is there any solution?<br />
<br />
Thank you in advance :)

Change Retention policy - Windows server backup - Windows 2012 R2

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
