For example, if you have a backup group A (all clients have a browse and
retention policy = 3 months) and the backup server is inside this group.
This backup server has a browse and retention policy = 1 year in another
group B, you'll have a retention of 1 year for bootstraps and indexes in the
group A. To do : change the policies of backup server.
If you discover another solution. Hold me informed !!

recycling
Hello,
you are right, there are still browsable savesets on the volume as mminfo
shows:
mminfo -a -v 000098
volume client date time size ssid fl lvl
name
000098 jusstusd001 18.01.2004 01:58:53 2157 MB 185195329 cb full
D:\NTBACKUP
But this saveset is already ready for recycling:
C:\>mminfo -q "ssid=185195329" -r
"sscreate,ssbrowse,ssretent,state,fragflags"
created browse retent fl
18.01.2004 18.02.2004 18.02.2004 E hE
18.01.2004 18.02.2004 18.02.2004 E mE
18.01.2004 18.02.2004 18.02.2004 E tE
Now this is a saveset with "E" and with "b"; how come?
Is there somewhere a saveset (still browsable) that depends on this one? How
do I find this saveset?

We ponder this quite often as our tapes come up for recycling. Networker
is usually right though and seems to know better then us.
You can
do a mminfo -a -p -v 000098 and it will show you the retention of each
saveset on the tape. Still you may find all the expire/retention dates
have pasted. You can do a mminfo -a -v 000098 and look for savesets
with a "E" flag as recycle and no "E" (still browsable?).
In short Networker keeps track of dependencies of the save sets; even though
all savesets on the tape have reached their retention period there are still
other savesets that depend on them..ie. incrementals or level 9's that
depend on a full level saveset. When these other dependent savesets reach
their retention then Networker will recycle/expire the saveset on the tape
in question and thus the tape.
