 ```
 For Kopia the default maintenance frequency is 1 hour, and Restic is 7 * 24 hours.
 
+### Full Maintenance Interval customization
+The full maintenance interval defaults to kopia defaults of 24 hours. Velero provide three override options under `fullMaintenanceInterval` configuration using `backup-repository-configmap` ConfigMap provided to velero install commands.
+- normalGC: 24 hours
+- fastGC: 12 hours
+- eagerGC: 6 hours
+
+Example of the `backup-repository-configmap` ConfigMap for the above scenario is as below:
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: ConfigMap
+metadata:
+  name: <config-name>
+  namespace: velero
+data:
+  <repository-type-1>: |
+    {
+      "fullMaintenanceInterval": fastGC
+    }
+  <repository-type-2>: |
+    {
+      "fullMaintenanceInterval": normalGC
+    }        
+```
+
 ### Others
 Maintenance jobs will inherit the labels, annotations, toleration, nodeSelector, service account, image, environment variables, cloud-credentials etc. from Velero deployment.
