Re: [Networker] Retention policy on clone pool

My plan at present is (if we decide to stay with NetWorker) to skip the
7.5 release and go straight to 7.6. However, because EMC does
overlapping development, there are always bugs in the new version that
you got fixed in the old version and EMC hasn't figured out that they
need to forward port the fixes -- until someone calls in and complains
about the same bug all over again. Even then if you don't get the right
support person, you're going to waste at least a week of your life
dealing with their script they were given to follow -- because they
don't know how the product even works.

PS -- Yes, since I've been dealing with multiple problems and have not
had a single day in the past three plus months that I haven't had to
deal with someone at EMC about them -- I'm very burned out and grouchy.

Effective results:
In Backup pools,
all NOT CLONED backups to have retention set as 5 Weeks,
all CLONED backups to have retention set as 10 Weeks,
In Clone pool, cloned copies set to 10 Weeks.
Am I wrong somewhere ? Shouldn't overrulled pool retention
policy to only apply on SSID/Clone id level ?
What's goal of pool's retention policy in such a case ?
My goal was to assign savegroup-based autocloned SSID a longer
retention period the normal backup copy seen now SSID copies
to support different retention date ...
Bug or expected behavior ... ?
BUG! I worked with EMC for hotfixes for this for both 7.4.3 and 7.4.4,
it is finally fixed in 7.4.5.2 for me.
Be aware that after you get the fix installed, the BACKUP volumes that
should have expired, will go to "undef" instead of "expired" status.
You'll have to manually recycle them to get them usable again.
