From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager on behalf of tsmadmin account for Excaliber Business Solutions I would like to know if i have a retention period for 180 days for Archives in my archive copy group. I then change this retetion period after a 20 day archiving process later to 30 days, will the data I have archived for the past 20 days take the new retention period of 30 days.
============= (This one's going in the FAQ.) No. Once you create an archive, no future act of any kind will affect the amount of time that archive is retained. The only way to change an archive's retention is to retrieve the archive, and then rearchive it with a different retention rule. -- Mark Stapleton
