● GFS for short, is a retention policy for the given backup
plan which is based on storing several full backups.
● Allows you to create a flexible archival strategy and
optimize the number of full backups at the same time.
● The regular retention and GFS retention policies are
combined to keep the balance between the data
availability and storage expenses.

8. GFS Backup schedule:
Incremental: every day
Full backup: every week
Retention period:
Regular: 30 days
Weekly: 6 weeks
Monthly: 3 months
Yearly: 1 year

9. Object Lock/Immutability
● Protects the backup from any modifications and
deletions until the specified time period expires.
● One of best features to implement against cyber
threats. (Ransomware cannot change or alter data
stored in an immutable state)
● Enable Object Lock with GFS retention settings.
● Can be configured as a default option for the
storage bucket.

10. Choosing a Cloud Storage Provider
● Cost
● Storage Tiers
● Recoverability Factors
● Manageability

11. Optimizing Cloud Storage
For Efficiency And Security
● Efficiency – a combination of solution and
cloud provider features
● Security – start with how threat actors are
attacking backups and utilize mitigating
features
