Server Admin Meetup: Effective Backup Retention Policy (with s3cmd Demo)

Hello everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well.

Tomorrow, we’ll be exploring one of the most important aspects of backups — the Retention Policy.

Storage is one of the most limited resources on our servers, so it’s essential to ensure it doesn’t get filled up with old backups while still maintaining a reliable recovery window. A well-designed retention policy helps achieve this balance — for example, keeping Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR) data for the past three months.

We’ll also discuss how to replicate and apply the same policy when syncing backups to remote locations.

  • There will be a demo on policy configuration using ➜ s3cmd setpolicy

See you there!
