Microsoft Database Applications and Multiple Backup Sources
Microsoft produces three database applications: SQL Server, Exchange, and SharePoint. Any given database within any of these database applications should only be backed up by one backup source. It is not recommended to back up the same database with multiple backup sources, unless all of the backup sources use full backups only. There is a great risk of backup failure and/or data loss if a database is backed up by multiple backup sources and incremental/differential backups are involved.

A retention policy controls the period of time that a backup is kept. By default, Carbonite Safe Server Backup (CSSB) uses a cycle-based retention policy. A backup cycle is defined as a full backup and all associated incremental or differential backups. When a new full backup completes, the oldest excess backup cycle is removed within 24 hours. You can control how many old backup cycles to keep.
