 The Backup job details for each VM backup consist of two phases, the **Snapshot** phase followed by the **Transfer data to vault** phase.
 
 - The snapshot phase ensures the availability of a recovery point stored along with the disks for **Instant Restores** and are available for a maximum of five days depending on the snapshot retention configured by the user. 
 - Transfer data to vault creates a recovery point in the vault for long-term retention. This phase starts after the snapshot phase is completed.
