SLP [duplicate backup to another disk ]

Hi Experts,

Is there any way to keep the same retention as source backup to destination storage while duplicating data from one disk [ServerA] to another disk [ServerB]. I couldn't find this option while creating SLP policy.

Please suggest if this option is exist in netbackup.

Thanks,

DPX

    Hi dpx_99,

     

    in commands reference guide I found:

    -rl retention_level[,rl-copy2,...]
    Provides a retention level for each copy that you specify.
    If no retention levels are specified, the expiration date of the original copy is
    used for each copy. If a retention period is indicated, the expiration date for
    the copy is the backup date plus the retention period.
    For example, if a backup was created on May 14, 2012, and its retention period
    is one week, the new copy’s expiration date is May 21, 2012.
    A value of -1 indicates that the original expiration date is used for the copy.

     

    ciao

        I wonder why you don't use the GUI to set this? 

        When you add the duplication operation, there is a retention period (right hand side) you can set. Isn't it?

        If you want to use command line:

        # nbstl <slpname> -modify_current -rl <retentino_value>

        Note: you need to get the <value>  from your retention level list.
