Default SnapVault settings for the WORM Snapshot copies retention period

When you configure a SnapVault Snapshot copy schedule for a SnapLock volume on the secondary storage system, the Snapshot copies created for that volume are WORM Snapshot copies. By default, SnapVault uses the retention period set by the snaplock_default_period vol option as the retention period for the WORM Snapshot copies.

You should ensure that the retention periods you configured when creating a SnapLock Compliance volume are correct.

Attention: The default retention period for volumes of the SnapLock for SnapVault feature is 30 years if the volume is a SnapLock Compliance volume. If the volume is a SnapLock Enterprise volume, the default retention period is 0 year. Ensure that you reset the default retention period unless you want all the created SnapVault WORM Snapshot copies to have a 30-year retention period.
