today+3.
When it is time to figure out which volumes to pick to come back onsite,
and you used mminfo to determine which volumes in the clone pool
have "expired" in terms of the clretent", could you then just relable that
tape into your SCRATCH pool and mark it recyclable without messing with
the original savesets that have a much greater retention? Would it be
better to set an actual ssretent on the cloned savesets via the nsrclone
command, in addition to specifying the retention time on the clone pool?
I believe NetWorker will figure out which ones have expired based on the
clretent and you will be fine with relabeling those tapes into your
SCRATCH pool. If you change the ssretent, you change it for ALL clones
of the ssid. Your description sounds like you don't want to do that.
What I am trying to do is separate clients by prod and test groups and
pools, and manually clone only the prod data. Since we do fulls once per
week, and L9s the other 6 days, I wanted to try and have a three week
offsite rotation for the fulls and a 3 day rotation on the incrs.
If you only want the incrs for 3 days -- why bother to clone them at all?
Does this sound feasible to anyone? Thanks.
