Beyond the automated backup tracking described in File Registry & Restore Planner, you can manually label individual backups and track how long they're expected to be kept.
A label is a human-readable marker on a specific backup — mark the one you took right before a risky change, the one you know is genuinely clean, or the one that corresponds to a specific known-good state you might need to reference later. This matters most in exactly the situation where it's hardest to remember which backup is which: mid-incident, under pressure, scrolling through a list of near-identical timestamps.
Alongside labels, PrivateNexus tracks how long each backup is meant to be retained — so retention isn't something you have to reconstruct from your backup tool's own (often separate) configuration when you're trying to work out whether a given restore point still exists.
A labeled, retention-tracked backup isn't automatically a trusted one — trust is still driven by the Last Known Good and verification data described in File Registry & Restore Planner. Labels and retention are about findability and lifecycle, not verification — the two systems work together, but they're answering different questions.
