The search should return at least three results.

appropriate for your machine:
• For local machines, enter the host name.
• For remote machines, enter the host name or IP address separated by a comma of the appliance
system hosting the AppAssure Core; for example, IPAddress, host name.
4. Restart Firefox.

Reviewing retention periods

AppAssure sets default retention periods that determine how often snapshots are taken and how long the
snapshots are retained. The retention periods must be based on the needs of your environment. For
example, if you are backing up servers that run frequently changing, mission-critical data that is essential
for business continuity, snapshots must be taken frequently.
To review and change retention periods:
1. Open the Core Console.
2. Select the Configuration tab and then click Retention Policy.
3. Adjust the retention policy based on the needs of your organization.
4. Click Apply.

Encrypting agent snapshot data

The Core can encrypt agent snapshot data within the repository. Instead of encrypting the entire
repository, it allows you to specify an encryption key during the protection of an agent in a repository
which allows the keys to be reused for different agents.
To encrypt agent snapshot data:
1. From the AppAssure Core, click Configuration → Manage → Security.
2. Click Actions, and then click Add Encryption Key.
