for user-directed backups. specifies the period of time that
can elapse until the next backup or archive operation begins on
this schedule. For example, assume that the frequency is seven days
and a successful backup occurs on Wednesday. The next full backup
does not occur until the following Wednesday. Typically,
incremental backups have a shorter frequency than full backups.

Specifies a retention period to keep backup copies of files
before they are deleted. The retention level also denotes a
schedules priority within the policy. A higher level has a higher
priority. Set the time period to retain at least two full backups
of your database. In this way, if one full backup is lost, you have
another full backup to restore. For example, if your database is
backed up once every Sunday morning, you should select a retention
period of at least 2 weeks.
