On-demand backups can be used to retain your snapshots for 10 years. Schedulers can be used to run on-demand PowerShell scripts with chosen retention and thus take snapshots at regular intervals every week, month, or year. While taking regular snapshots refer to the [limitations of on-demand backups](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/backup/backup-azure-files-faq#how-many-on-demand-backups-can-i-take-per-file-share-) using Azure backup.
