 Note that partitions are represented as individual tables in backup storage. If you try to restore dataset with 10 tables with 500 partitions each, it will require 5000 copy jobs which is half of your daily quota.
 ## Retention process  
 
-Every day retention process scans all backups to find and delete backups matching specific criteria within given source table/partition:
-* if there are multiple backups per day, the most recent is retained. Multiple backups per day are created in rare cases (e.g. when task queue task is executed more than one time),
-* if there are more than 10 backups for given table/partition, the 10 most recent are retained,
-* if all backups are older than 7 months, then most recent is retained,
-* if there are backups younger than 7 months, then all others are deleted, 
-* if source table is deleted, then the last backup is deleted after 7 months.
