Configuring snapshot retention policies
Configuring snapshot retention policies:
[Optional, but recommended]
You should configure the list of retention policies the DS-Client can apply to the snapshots taken by the Snapshot Manager. Each snapshot transfer that is configured can be assigned to one retention policy.
1. On the Snapshot Manager menu, click Snapshot Retention.
The Snapshot Retention Management dialog box appears.
2. To add a new Retention Policy, click New. To edit an existing Retention Policy, select it, and then click Edit.
If you have just clicked New, the New Snapshot Retention dialog box appears.
If you have just clicked Edit, the Modify Snapshot Retention dialog box appears.
3. Configure the Retention Policy.
4. Click OK to save the Snapshot Retention Policy.
A Retention Policy is applied at volume-level, meaning that all snapshot transfers for the same volume will have the same Retention Policy
IMPORTANT: Once retention is enforced, deleted snapshots cannot be restored.
