Hi Experts,
I have to increase retention of the images from 1 month to 1 year.
Found we have 4 tapes that have all the required images and 18 images on these 4 tapes.
we dont have mutiple retention on tape
Got confusion. I believe i have 2 options
1:- Extend the required images on tape one by one. That means i am extending tapes retention.
or
2:- Extend the tape rention to one year. No need to change all images one by one.
Pls correct me if i am wrong on any part here.
Now
When we select any media from volume pool it says on the properties as per attachment.
Expiration date
Never
Date
Does it referring to point 2 ? which i mentioned above. In short by extending media retention to one more year am i setting the tape expiry to next year? that would mean netbackup wont write anything on this tape after it expires next year.
Pls help?
