How many days should you keep the snapshot?

It’s less about the recommendation from the Nutanix perspective as it is what you need from a business perspective. Nutanix can keep a snapshot as long as you like with how it does snapshots it doesn’t impact performance. Question is how far back do you want/need to be able to go back and at what point is the data no longer valid if restored.

You can set how long you want to keep them when you setup your protection domains/policies. You can keep X number of hourly, Y number of daily, Z number of weekly and setup your strategy that way
