Retirement Timing Control: You can use the following rules to retire dependent backups: |
• |
Force Always: When this rule is applied, a backup is removed when it reaches its retirement time. As a result, all backups from an Incremental Backup Series or a Differential Backup Series are retired when the first backup is retired. Forcing this behavior can cause early retirement of dependent Incremental and Differential Backups. |
• |
Keep Duplicates with Dependents: This rule specifies the retirement behavior of Duplicate Backups. When this rule is applied, Duplicates with dependents are retired only after all dependent backups have reached their retirement date. The Duplicate Backups are marked for removal according to the retirement schedule, but the removal is deferred until all dependent backups are ready for retirement. |
• |
Allow Duplicates with Dependents to Retire: This rule specifies the retirement behavior of Duplicate Backups. When this rule is applied, Duplicates with dependents are removed when their retirement date is reached only if the original backups or other copies are available for these backups. In the absence of the original backup or other copies, the Duplicate Backups are marked for deletion, and removed when the last dependent backup is retired. |
