Hi David,

No, we are not keeping any file versions. This is our custom retention policy
Delete versions older than 1.5 year from back up date - enabled
Always keep the latest version - enabled
Keep number of versions (for each file) disabled
Delay purge (disabled)
Delete files that have been deleted locally (disabled)
Incremental every 90 days, block level every day.

When i go to explore my backups or restore a certain file , I only see one version of a file, you mentioned that the block level would keep 90 versions if the file got changed over that 90 day period. However, i checked a dozen of file, they all have one version.


So if i got this right:
We should decrease the incremental level to 60 days or even 30, what are the benefits of this and pros ?

Purge delay of 30 days is not enough to protect against ransomware attack ? I have been advised by support via email that this is the only option i would need - but I'm confused, as I read on the site here that we should use file versioning and purge delay.

Most of our files that are created/changed are pretty small in size , think less than 30-50mb.
