I have a 2 month browse/2 month retention policy now. I'm changing that to
6 months browse for certain clients (mail and my main SAN storage). I plan
on changing retention time to one year, on the EOM savesets. I got that
idea from our last email conversation. :-) Dunno if I will also change the
browse time to 6 months, or just the retention ....
I plan on 2 loops - one for all savesets, and change retention - and one
for volumes, making them readonly and manual.
Thanks!
