How to setting retention on Disk Staging?

[Carmen_Garc_a]

Hello everybody:

   It's neccesary to duplicate images on Basic Disk Storage Unit, to tape. My question appears when I enable the "Enable Temporary Staging Area", and I don't find how to set a certain retention, to the every multiple copies I want to configure.

I suspect this itsn't possible, so I don't find any reference to this item, in the official documentation

Thanks to all.

You will need the advanced disk option and Storage Lifecycle Policies (SLP) to do that.

The basic DSSU does not allow you to specify individual retentions per copy - the basic dssu copy the images to tape with the same retention as the policy specified - as you already have discovered.

I have linked to the SLP Best practice - I found it good value when I started to work with SLP's.

Thanks Nicolai!!!

I would like to ask you if you find about this matter, in particular about the retention in DSSU's staging, in the official documentation.

I don't get it.

Thanks very much.

Best Regards.
