Hi Community. 

Kindly can you confirm the below in Netbackup7.1:

If I have a backup on a weekly basis with retention period of one month (4 backups kept). Does the retention period take into consideration the success of the 5th backup before deleting the 1st backup? 

Thanks

Each backup image is stored with a hard-coded expiration date that is determined by the retention level. There is no relation/dependancy on subsequent backups.

Best to troubleshoot failed backups and rerun ASAP.

If the media with first backup images is the only one available for using with fifth backup, then it will get overwritten. Which means first backup image will no more be available even if the job fails.
