Also 7.3.2 has support for multiple retentions on a save set, correct?
Is there per-copy retention value (like cloneretent or something)?  If
so, you might want to display that instead of or in addition to the
ssretent (even if you're not doing cloning).

Using mminfo -avV -q volume=UVM.4943 and I finally found it. Looks like a networker bug to me. Three successive days incremental backups from a system that has a retention time of a week are marked for 08/15/43, 08/16/43 and 08/17/43. The -V flag is the only way I see to have the clone retention value displayed.

Thanks!
