savegrp doesn't honor retention settings on group definition

I have a group defined for only one client with both Browse Policy and Retention Policy set to Month. But when I launch the command

savegrp -G groupname

it saves the saveset with the client's retention of Week instead.

Why doesn't it use the correct retention for the group?

This is by design (althoug it's a bad design in my opinion).

If you run the savegrp from command line, it doesn't use the browse and retention from the group resource. You have to speficially set it using -w and -y or it will use the client resources' browse and retention setting instead.

No idea yet. But to answer this question we should know at least the NW version ...

I am guessing this is version prior to 9.x,

Can you check the time policy resource is set up properly?  May be the name isn't matching what is actually configured within the time policy itself.

Server is Linux x86_64 8.2.4.4.Build.1366

Client is Linux x86_64 8.2.4.4.Build.1366

Time policies are correct (Week is set to 1 Weeks and Month is set to 1 Months)

I just had some time to verify it. It seems that you are right - dates are completely mixed up.

It might have in fixed in a later 8.2.4.x hotfix version. But I did not check that.

If an update will not work, may I suggest that you use the following command line for policy exceptions:

     savegrp -w "1week" -y "1week" -G
