How to find netbackup policy name based on RETENTION_LEVEL 12 in command line

[uuontario]

Hi All, 

I want to find those policy names with RETENTION_LEVEL = 12, which is 7 years. 

My master server is Solari 10. NBU7.1.0.4.

How do I do that in command line?  I have been searched command guid and google it. I could not find any.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Jim

cd /usr/openv/netbackup/db/class

find . -depth -exec grep -l "^RETENTION_LEVEL 12" {} \;
./test_policy/schedule/FULL/info

Highlighted in bold is your policy name. This won't work for policies using SLP as storage unit though.

or...GUI

NetBackup Management --> Host Properties --> master servers
Right click on the master server to bring up its properties.
click on retention levels.

Then simply click on any retention level and the policies that use that retention are displayed.

Try something like this:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bppllist -allpolicies -U |egrep -e 'Policy Name' -e 'Retention Level'

It will list all policy names and the Retention Levels for each policy.

Stumpr's GUI answer gives the same result as mine - it does not display Policies with SLP storage units where the retention is set in the SLP.

If I change a retention in a policy (when not using SLP) to 9 months, then put it back to SLP storage unit, it still displays the policy as 9 months and not the 2 weeks I have set in the SLP!

Seems like a bug / overlook to me.
