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 ?

 

Thanks,
