In the past, this article contained an animated GIF that demonstrated the method by which GFS restore points were created by a Backup Copy job.

Those now outdated animations have been removed from this article to prevent confusion. For historical reference, below are links to the GFS Retention explanation for versions prior to Veeam Backup & Replication 11.

- Veeam Backup & Replication v9.0 - Backup Copy GFS
