I am backing up to disk with a 6 month retention policy. I use automatic
cloning to tape at the time if backup (so that I have tapes available
for offsite storage immediately for six months). I require recovery from
disk for one week (backup on Friday night - recovery until following
Friday). At this point I would like to free up the disk for the next
weekly backup. The method to do this is staging and the data would be
staged to tape. But this would give me two copies of the data and as I
only need to keep the offsite copy I want to delete the data that is on
the disk. 

 

As this data has a six month retention period I would like to change the
retention time to one week but keep the cloned copy of the savesets for
six months. I know that I can change retention periods of save sets
using nsrmm but is it possible to use this on the original saveset
without affecting the cloned copy.

 

In summary my objective is; backup to disk - clone to tape - change
retention on data on disk - data on disk expires - disk space freed up -
clone copy still has six month retention and is offsite.

 

Any suggestions please!!
