How to set up retention period for Backup Excec.cloud?

[Tuontiyhtio]

How can I change retention period for backed up files? Or the whole storage? I'm backing up database dump and it's created again every night. There is no point to save files older than 2 weeks as this is 2nd level backup (if everything else fails or burns). Now storage gets filled over and over again with same files.

...retention is set on the media set, so make sure your media set is configured to allow overwrites to happen on time.

Thanks!

There is no such thing as media set in Exec.Cloud Question is for Cloud service not desktop BE.

...my bad, although I can definitely read it is about Backup Exec .Cloud, I was under the impression the basics were the same.

Best to open a query with Symantec directly then as this forum isn't very well frequented.

Thanks!
