+**Purpose**:
+This is meant as a high-level generally-speaking best practice retention policy in most use-cases.  This document will generally be pretty bare-bones, but the general idea is the following advanced GFS retention period is generally configured on backup copy jobs, specifically ones that have off-site backups, but can also be used for local backup repositories.
+
+Navigate to Jobs > Backup (or Backup Copy) > (Find a Backup Job) > Right-Click > Edit > Storage (or Target) > "**Keep Certain Full Backups for Archival Purposes**: Checked" > Click on the "**Configure**" button
+
+| **Description** | **Status** | **Value** |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| Keep Weekly Full Backups | Enabled | 4 |
+| Keep Monthly Full Backups | Enabled | 3 |
+| Keep Yearly Full Backups | Enabled | 1 |
+
+!!! note "Assumption"
+    This document assumes that you at (least) keep 7 daily backups in the normal backup schedule.  Meaning 7 daily, 4 weekly, 3 monthly, and 1 yearly backup is maintained at all times.
