Re: [Veritas-bu] Changing backup retention periods

For legal holds I just use "bpduplicate" to a pool
called "Legal" with a different retention. It's just a couple-times-per-year
action for us.

Mark,
For
a single instance, I agree. For organizations that are constantly
changing retention of data and need to keep track of the original expiration
dates and manage shared data, especially for legal holds, it's an excellent
solution.

You
can also use Data
Manager to accomplish this. It's designed for legal holds but
does exactly what you want to do too.

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 ?
Essentially
I’m trying to work out if this change will be applied retro-actively to
existing backup images ?
