The lower half of the dialog box lists schedules where the retention period
is less than the frequency period (including schedules that do not use the
retention periods that you just changed).
If any schedules are listed, correct the problem by either redefining the
retention period or changing the settings for retention or frequency on the
schedule.
5. To discard your changes, click one of the following:
• Reset - If you select a retention period that was changed (has an asterisk
in the Modified column), clicking Reset restores the selection to the value
that was set with the last Apply or OK.
• Reset All - Restores all retention periods that were changed (have an
asterisk in their Modified column), to the values that were set with the
last Apply or OK.
• Set to Defaults - Sets all levels of retention to their standard defaults.
• Cancel - Discards all changes that were made since the last Apply and
then closes the dialog box. This action also discards any unsaved changes
to the global attributes.
6. To save your changes and update the configuration, click one of the
following:
• Apply - Saves changes and leaves the dialog box open so you can make
further changes. This also saves changes to the global attributes.
• OK - Saves changes since the last time you clicked Apply and closes the
dialog box. This also saves changes to the global attributes.
Note on Redefining Retention Periods
NetBackup, by default, stores each backup on a volume that already has
backups at the same retention level. However, NetBackup does not check the
retention period associated with that level. This means that redefining the
retention period for a level can result in unintentionally storing backups with
different retention periods on the same volume. For example, if you change the
retention period for level 3 from one month to six months, NetBackup stores
future level 3 backups on the same volumes that it previously used (if they are
available). That is, they are on the volumes with the level 3 backups that have
a retention period of one month.
