What it does
How many days the change journal keeps its rows -- every configuration change, record by record, that undo and restore are built on.
When set
When set, the backup job removes journal rows older than this and records that on the audit trail. It can never be shorter than the backup retention: a shorter value is refused and the journal is kept, because an undo needs its evidence.
When blank or default
Left blank, the default applies: not set: the change journal is kept forever
Risk and how to reverse it
Setting it, or lowering it, deletes older change-journal rows at the next backup run. Cannot be undone.
Requires
A SecurityInsight Pro licence.
Recommended
Not set (keep the journal).
