You can configure replication group storage locations to retain backed-up data for a specified period of time. A retention setting of 14 days or more is considered to be long-term retention.
If you configure storage retention as more than 14 days for a replication group, then license usage will be counted for both the Auto Recovery license and other data protection license types that appear in the License Summary report.
You can configure data retention for both primary and secondary backup copies.
