different retention for clones with NetWorker V7.5

Hi there,

I want to use one of the new clone features to set different retention times for clones in NetWorker V7.5 on windows.

The idea: 1st pool (adv_file) with retention of a few day as a disk backup cache. 2nd pool (clone pool) with a higher retention on tape and 3rd pool with the highest retention for offsite.

I tried to set the higher retention with nsrclone -y and with nsrmm -S ssid/cloneid in the lab (all pools on adv_file) but the retention time is always changed for ALL save sets. Is this a bug?

I would expect the ssretent to change for that particular clone id

If I remember correctly ssretent will take longest value - the one to rely on is clretent.

I tried clretent:

mminfo -s localhost -av -q ssid=3115846201 -r name,ssid,cloneid,ssretent,ssbrowse,clretent,volume

VSS USER DATA:\ 3115846201 1236798009 04.04.2009 20.03.2009 14.03.2009 3Tage.000

VSS USER DATA:\ 3115846201 1236876484 04.04.2009 20.03.2009 04.04.2009 8Tage_c.002
VSS USER DATA:\ 3115846201 1236876483 04.04.2009 20.03.2009 04.04.2009 8Tage_c.002.RO

Looks better! Do I have to recycle "clretent-expired" manually or does NetWorker use clretent?

Thanks for your help!

That makes sense. Stupid of me not to have figured that one out :)
