Procedure

On the Data Aging tab, choose a parameter, and in the Value field change the default retention time:
-
Days to keep the successful backup job histories: The default value is 7 days.
-
Days to keep the archiver restore job histories: This setting applies to the Exchange Compliance Archiver. All other archive restore jobs are aged based on the Days to keep the successful backup job histories parameter. The default value is 0 days, which means the retention is set to infinite and not zero days.
