multiple retention levels per media on a pool basis?

[bills]

Someone else asked this a few years back, and got a positive response, but no instructions.

I want to enable multiple retention levels per media, but only for a number of volume pools - I don't want to turn it on globally.

Can I do this, or is it ONLY a global setting?  This is NBU 7.1.

Only Global I believe as it is a Master Server Host Properties Setting

I guess if you wanted to do that you would need to allow multiple retentions globally and then make sure that your policies, retentions and volume pools ensured that it could not actually happen anywhere else.

So have a 27_day_pool used for 27 day retention schedules etc. etc.

...that's a bit more trouble than I'm willing to go through....

understandable and fair enough - if you are satisfied with the answer dont forget to mark as solved

if there is something you were trying to acheive then let me know to see if there is another way of doing it

thanks
