Hi Eustace

 

Changing the retention of a policy never affects existing backups. If you
want to change the retention for already written images you have to use 

 

bpexpdate -recalculate -backupid backup_id -copy number -ret retention_level

Question on how changing the retention of the policy will affect previous
backups that had RL 9. 

If I changed the retention of a policy from 9 to 5 .. Will this affect all
the backups of the policy or just the images going forward. 

I.e. I do not want previous images to expire based on the current retention
change.
