Daily Retention Policy Documented - Where's the Documentation for Yearly Retention Policy?

[USCloud-EricWilborn]

There is some desire to see the maximum retention policy for yearly backup points past the 10 year threshold. The retention settings within the backup schedule specify "The value must be between 1 and 10." when trying to push higher than 10 years.

Can we get the documentation published that clearly specifies this 10 year limit, beyond what's shown as an error in the GUI?

Thank you.
