Changing retention policy with AFTD device
Hello,
simple task: I want to change the retention policy from one year to one month and remove all backups older than one month.
After I've changed the retention policy for a client, I've to manual change the policy for existing savesets with nsrmm (found an exmaple 'nsrmm -S -w -e '), correct? But this will mark the saveset only as 'removable' and the "media can be overwritten", correct? But I think that's not true for AFTD devices.
Is there a "cleanup tool" to free up unsed diskspace?
Regards,
Dennis

Run nsrmm –X twice.
If you want to delete certain save sets on AFTD, run
nsrmm -o recyclable -S
then run nsrmm –X twice.

For AFTD, once the saveset is marked as recyclable, you can either run nsrim -X manually to reclaim space, or else wait for the next scheduled run of nsrim, which will be within next 24 hours.

Okay, sounds easy.
But another question: I played around with mminfo. I think after executing nsrim -X there should be no recycleable saveset. But 'mminfo -q "ssrecycle" -r ssid,client,name,group,ssretent' lists a lot of savesets. Example:
191906529 CLIENTNAME VSS ASR DISK:\ Default 4/25/2013
3799094385 CLIENTNAME VSS ASR DISK:\ Default 4/26/2013
3346195944 CLIENTNAME VSS ASR DISK:\ Default 4/27/2013
2943629167 CLIENTNAME VSS ASR DISK:\ Default 4/28/2013
2624948456 CLIENTNAME VSS ASR DISK:\ Default 4/29/2013
2239158893 CLIENTNAME VSS ASR DISK:\ Default 4/30/2013
1886923756 CLIENTNAME VSS ASR DISK:\ Default 5/1/2013
1534688618 CLIENTNAME VSS ASR DISK:\ Default 5/2/2013
1199230700 CLIENTNAME VSS ASR DISK:\ Default 5/3/2013
696000619 CLIENTNAME VSS ASR DISK:\ Default 5/4/2013
343765486 CLIENTNAME VSS ASR DISK:\ Default 5/5/2013
25084777 CLIENTNAME VSS ASR DISK:\ Default 5/6/2013
3934262519 CLIENTNAME VSS ASR DISK:\ Default 5/7/2013
Also some index savesets are listed. I think they should be removed by nsrim. Any idea with they aren't?
