We’ve had a request to extend the retention period on backups from one of our hosts so that data needed for some troubleshooting won’t expire before it can be used.

Currently the retention period for this data is 1 week.  If I change the retention period in the policy that backed up this data to 2 weeks, will this change be applied to both future and past backups handled by this policy ?


You need to change the expiration of the images that are already written - changing the policy won't do anything for you.

Use bpexpdate to change the expiration date of existing images.
