Two questions for the free edition
For free edition, is it true that I cannot set the retention?
Also, I cannot see delete for incremental backups, is it true that I have to remove in backup storage?

Re: Two questions for the free edition
In the free-edition of Vembu BDR Suite while you configure a new backup-job for either VMware or Hyper-V VMs you will see a pop-up window asking you to select the type of free-edition. i.e. either the Full or Limited - featured free edition as shown in the pic below.
If you select the Full-Featured free edition option then you get to choose up to 10 VMs in a single backup job with all basic backup features (Standard Edition features) applicable for it. After that, all the subsequent backup jobs created will run full-backups only. Check the following Edition Comparition web-page, for more details: https://www.vembu.com/vembu-bdr-suite...
Note: The retention of backup data depends on the backup schedule frequency.
And if you select the Limited-Featured free edition option you will be able to schedule only full-backups for the backup jobs with no retention feature.
You can either delete the full backups or the entire backup job, and we don't have an option to delete the incremental backups alone. So, by choosing the "Full-Featured free edition" option while configuring a backup job, you can control its recovery points by enabling the backup retention policy and selecting the required number of restore points.
