In the duplication tab within the vault profile, configure retention to be "use mappings" It's the last item in the list.
create a file called: /usr/openv/netbackup/db/vault/retention_mappings and in the file, you create entries with two columns of numbers The column on the left is the original backups retention level, and the column on the right is the "duplicated image's" retention level. so f'rinstance, since retention level 0 is a week, 1 is 2 weeks, 2 is 3 weeks and 3 is a month. if you want the original 1 week backup to be duped and kept for 1 month, the first line of tyou mapping file would be: 0 3 if you want your original backup with 2 weeks retention duped and kept for a year, your next line would be: 1 8 and so on. if you want all your original backup kept for 1 week, and all the dupes to be different, you would use the "unassigned" retention levels in NBU to create many "1 week" retention levels. ie, retention 10, 11, 12, and 13 are all set to be one week, then you map level 10 to 1 year, level 11 to 2 years, etc. The each of your backup profiles would spec the retention level to be the numeric retention level that maps to the appropriate "final" retention. check the Vault admin guide, page 121 -- -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Whittaker Sent: May 17, 2007 1:26 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Vaulting Question Richard, What version of Vault do you have? I am running 5.1 MP3 and there is no retention mapping within each vault profile. I have to create a profile for each offsite retention period. Just as an FYI, I use a KORN script to run all my vaulting, since I also inject my tapes and run other cleanup work.
