SLP - Retention Period

I am looking for a way to have a SLP using AIR (NBU 7.5.01 running on Windows 2008 R2) with a 60-day retention on the Source Domain and 14-day retention on the destination domain.  I have a single MSDP in both the source and destination domain.  My SLP is

 

SOURCE DOMAIN

Operation - Backup

Storage Unit - MSDP

Retention Type - Fixed

Retention Period - 2 Months

 

Operation - Replication

Storage Unit -

Retention Type - Fixed

Retention Period - 2 Weeks

 

DESTINATION DOMAIN

Operation - Import

Storage Unit - MSDP

Retention Type - Target Retention

Retention Period -

It took the Retention Period when the Operation = Duplication to an offsite to MSDP but not when the Operation = Replication (AIR).  I know that I could write a duplicated copy to tape at the source domain but looking for a way to keep everyting in Dedup Disk.

Thanks for any suggestions

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • With your configuration, data sit in source MSDP will be kept 2 months, and be kept 2 weeks in destination MSDP. I tested in my test environment now, and got folowing result. Images will be kept and, will expire as specified in SLP. SLP configuration in source domain:

  • With your configuration, data sit in source MSDP will be kept 2 months, and be kept 2 weeks in destination MSDP. I tested in my test environment now, and got folowing result. Images will be kept and, will expire as specified in SLP. SLP configuration in source domain:
