Specifying retention periods for WORM Snapshot copies

You can specify retention periods for different WORM Snapshot copies created in a SnapLock volume.

Step

  1. To specify the retention period for WORM Snapshot copies, enter the following command: snapvault snap sched -x -o retention_period=period sec_vol snapname count@day_list@hour_list

    period is the retention period in count followed by days (d), months (m), or years (y).

    sec_vol is the name of the volume where the Snapshot copy resides.

    snapname is the name of the Snapshot copy.

    count is the number of Snapshot copies you want to retain for this set, although this value is ignored.

    @day_list is a comma-separated list that specifies the days on which a new Snapshot copy is created for this set.

    @hour_list specifies the hours at which a new Snapshot copy is created for this set.

Example

WORM Snapshot copies created on the secondary storage system in the sv_proj SnapLock volume have retention periods of 360 days from the time of their creation. Snapshot copies are created at noon and 8 p.m. every day. snapvault snap sched -x -o retention_period=360d sv_proj sv_hourly 1@12,20
