Configuring saveset expiry options

NetVault supports generation- and time-based retirement methods for backups. You can specify these options in the Backup Advanced Options Set. If the backups are stored on tape media, you can also use the Change Expiry method to set or change the expiry date or generation count later.

This section describes how to set the retirement age or maximum generation count for one or more savesets on physical or virtual tape media by using the Change Expiry method. For more information about the Backup Life option, see Setting backup retirement options.

If a backup has any dependent backups, you can choose to do the following:

For more information about backup retirement methods and retirement rules, see Backup retirement.

Click Explore Tape Storage.

On the Media Management - Change Saveset Expiry Date drawer, configure the options described in the following table.

Change Expiry Date

To configure time-based retirement, select this check box, and do one of the following:

Select the On option, and type or select the date and time in the respective boxes.
Alternatively, select the Never option to retain the backup indefinitely.

Change Generation Cycle

To configure generation-based retirement, select this check box, and do one of the following:

Select the Discard after option, and in the associated box, type or select the number of Full Backups.
Alternatively, select the Never option to retain the backup indefinitely.

Force Expiry

By default, if a backup has any dependent backups, its retirement is deferred until all dependent backups are ready for retirement.

You can select this check box to retire a backup according to its retirement schedule. Forcing this behavior can cause early retirement of dependent Incremental and Differential Backups.

To apply this rule globally to all backups, you can modify the Media Manager settings. For more information, see Configuring retirement rules for dependent backups. If the Retirement Timing Control option for Media Manager is set to Force Always, the Force Expiry is option is used, regardless of state of this check box.

c
Click Apply to save the settings.
IMPORTANT:  
If you set both Change Expiry Date and Change Generation Cycle options for a Full Backup, the backup is retired only when both conditions are met. For example, if you set the Discard After Full Backup Count option to four Full Backups and the Discard After option to 30 days, the backup is retired after four Full Backup counts and 30 days.
