Marco,

Not sure if this would help or is already the case.
Are you storing the indexes to the virtual client name i.e. do you have
defined in the save -c <virtual client> for your clustered save sets ?
Just wondering ...

Cheers
Koen

Hi,
I haven't seen a response to this, so let me fill the gap.

Check with mminfo what is on the tapes that gets a retention time of
three years. My bet is that it's the indexes of the clients. If that's
so, here's why they get such a long retention time and what can be done
about it. use mminfo -q 'volume=volumename' -r 'name, ssexpire' Check if
the backup server is part of the group that get's a retention time of 3
years. If the backup server ( who owns the indexes of the clients ) is
not in the group and hence has no retentiontime specified, Legato
Networker has to decide on a retention time and picks the longest
possible ( paranoid mode ). There are several solutions:

1 set the group not to create Indexes and make backup's of the indexes
in a different group that only handles indexes ( howto can be found in
the archives of this group ) 2 Add the server to the group. Give it a
schedule to always skip, if you don't want it to write anything to tape.
   This will give networker a retention time for the indexes

Regards,
Dirk Verhoeff
