-2. In the following window, you'll be given a choice to delete or retain the backup data. If you choose **Retain backup data** and then **Stop backup**, the VM backup won't be permanently deleted. Rather, this stops all scheduled backup jobs and retains backup data. In this scenario, retention range set in the policy does not apply to the backup data. It continues the pricing as is until you remove the data manually. If **Delete backup data** is chosen, a delete email alert is sent to the configured email ID informing the user that 14 days remain of extended retention for backup data. Also, an email alert is sent on the 12th day informing that there are two more days left to resurrect the deleted data. The deletion is deferred until the 15th day, when permanent deletion will occur and a final email alert is sent informing about the permanent deletion of the data.
