This commit Closes#200. It is adding a note to the recovery section in the documentation manual alerting the user about the possibility of the backup getting obsolete while the recovery process is ongoing and what to do to prevent that. The team first thought about a solution that could handle this automatically but many arguments were against this, specially because it could introduce unwanted behaviour on recover and the fact that `keep` feature is there to help.

This commit Closes: #200 .
It adds a note to the recovery section of the documentation manual. This note informs users about the risk of backup obsolescence and deletion during the recovery process, particularly when retention policy rules are enforced, and provides guidance on how to prevent this issue.
Initially, the team considered implementing an automatic solution for this problem. However, several concerns were raised, including the potential for unintended side effects during recovery, the existing
keepfeature designed to assist with backups, and the need for users to be fully aware of the implications and procedures during recovery—an operation often conducted under stressful situations.References: BAR-222
