Changing the save set browse and retention time

You can change the expiration of a save set, including a cloned save set in three ways.

  • Extend the browse and retention time to a new expiration date.
  • Keep the selected save set indefinitely, which sets the retention time to forever.
  • Expire the save set immediately.
NOTE:The maximum retention time is limited to 136 years from the current date of execution for the respective action.

Perform the following steps to change the retention time on save sets:

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 such as NMC. Ensure that browse is always lower or equal to retention period. On the NMC server, if the user specifies the saveset expiration as now and the machine is not in sync with NetWorker server, and then the time of the NMC server machine will be updated to saveset which might be in future.
