A method and system where data is maintained in a continuous data protection system is disclosed. A primary volume may be protected according to an any-point-in-time (APIT) window wherein restores may be performed at any time as desired. The APIT window may be of any time duration as desired. Outside of the APIT window, a retention policy for phasing out data may be established as desired.
