Re: [Veritas-bu] Changing the retention period

If you change a retention level to another value the expiration
on images assigned that retention level will not automatically change. You have
to run bpexpdate with the recalculate option to update the catalog with the new
retention based on the original backup date and the new retention value.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Changing the retention period
The
only way to change the retention period on backups that have already run is to
use the BPEXPDATE command, correct? If I change the retention period on
the policy, it has no effect on existing backup images…right? One of the
admin’s here said that if you changed the retention time in a specific policy
in Tivoli, it would retroactively change the expiration date on existing
backups. I’m 99% sure NBU doesn’t do that, but just wanted to make sure.
