Re: [Networker] Using multiple retentions

Hi,

There are a couple of ways to achieve such a result :

One can be to always take backups with a 6 months
retention and having a scipt to extend retention to 2 years for full
levels, this relying on a config file, for sample.

The best one (and the simplier one) is to call manually savegrp command,
forcing level and policy like

savegrp -l full -w "2 years" -y "2 years" group_name
savegrp -l 1 -w "6 months" -y "6 months" group_name
savegrp -l incr -w "6 months" -y "6 months" group_name

You can also use different group names such

savegrp -w "2 years" -y "2 years"   -C grp_sched group_name_full
savegrp -w "6 months" -y "6 months" -C grp_sched group_name_1
savegrp -w "6 months" -y "6 months" -C grp_sched group_name_incr
using different group schedules and using skipping
such FSSFSSS, S11S111 ....
for easier pool configuration and start all groups on a daily base

Hope this helps,

Thierry
