I have an Advanced Disk Pool that we backup all our images to.
Some of my SLPs have the backup going to the Advanced Disk Pool with a Retention Type listed as Capacity Managed and Retention Period of 2 weeks.
Does this mean that NetBackup will keep the backup image AT LEAST 2 weeks and thereafter will remove it from the Advance Disk Pool if necessary or will NetBackup get rid of it prior to the 2 week Retention Period if space is needed?
Solved! Go to Solution.

In that case i would not use a SLP - i would just back it up to your disk pool with a fixed retention (set via the schedule) of 2 weeks
If you disk fills up you will have to expire stuff manually or buy more disk
Hope this helps

Mark,
I have a policy that its SLP is the following:
Use For: Backup
Storage Unit: AdvancedDisk Pool
Retention Type: Capacity Managed
Retention Period: 2 weeks
Use For: Duplication
Storage Unit: LTO3 Tape
Retention Type: Fixed
Retention Period: 2 Weeks
What I am ulimately trying to accomplish is to get rid of the Duplication (to save on using LTO tape) and just keep that backup on Disk until it expires. I cannot risk though, having it fall off disk prior to the 2 week retention period.
