Retention types for storage lifecycle policy operations
The Retention type for an operation in a storage lifecycle policy determines how long the data is kept on that storage media.
Note:
You can set the Retention types for storage lifecycle policy operations from the NetBackup web UI.
Table: Operation and retention type configurations
Retention type | Backup operation | Snapshot operation | Replication operation | Backup From Snapshot operation | Duplication operation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Fixed | Valid | Valid | Valid | Valid | Valid |
Expire after copy | Valid | Valid | Valid | Valid | Valid |
Maximum Snapshot limit | Invalid | Valid; SLP honors the policy setting. | Invalid | Invalid | Invalid |
Target retention | Invalid | Invalid | Valid if the first operation in the SLP is an Import and if the storage is of the backup type. | Invalid | Valid if the first operation in the SLP is an Import. |
Note:
Retention is not associated with the Index From Snapshot operation because the operation does not create any copy.
