Manage recovery points

*A Recovery Point appears like a Full backup to the user.* That is only in appearance as each Recovery Point only contains block level Deltas or changes since the last Synchronization. In other words, a Recovery Point is a point-in-time virtual full backup of the [Manage devices] (or selected files/folders on Devices).

The *Recovery Point Retention* is defined in the [Policy|Manage policies] properties. The Retention rules define how many Recovery Points to keep in the Disk Safe. Old Recovery Points are merged automatically.  

Recovery Point properties:
* *Mount Point*
* *Last Device Path*
* *Content Type*
* *Identification*
* *File System Properties*
* *Synchronization Details*

See descriptions in [Access recovery points].

The following actions are available for the Recovery Points:
* *View *
* *Delete (merge) *
* *Lock*
* *Restore*

You can limit the number of Recovery Points stored in the Disk Safes assigned to the Volume. Read more in [Create volumes].
