Changing browse and retention policies with nsrmm examples

The examples in this section use nsrmm to change browse and retention policies.

NOTE:To achieve consistency of setting the browse or retention time from remote machine, it is recommended to have time sync between NetWorker server and remote machine. On the remote machine, if the user specifies the saveset expiration as now and the machine is not in sync with NetWorker server, then the time of the remote machine will be updated to saveset which might be in future.

    nsrmm -S 3315861249 -e "01/15/2022 23:59:59" -w "01/15/2021 23:59:59"
  • To change the browse time to six months from the current date and time, type the following commands:

  • To change the retention time to two years from the current date and time, type the following commands:
