Careful when you say "whatever you want".
The retention levels are set per master server. When the image is created,
only the retention level INTEGER is stored on the image (i.e. the number 2
is stored, not the number of weeks).
If you import an image to another master (upgrade servers, DR, migrate
sites), the image will come into the new master with the retention level
associated with the integer value on the new server.
Worst case is that the new server has very short retention level
"customized" at that integer value and the imported tape expires and get
written over.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backup retention setting question
When you scheduled a backup you have a choice of different retentions. Some
of these are infinity with different levels. I need to have a backup to have
a 5 year retention but there is no choice for this. Can this be added
somewhere so it shows up as a choice? We are running NBU 5 mp3.
Thanks,
Greg
