According to the documentation, Data aging can be performed on a storage policy with synchronous and/or selective copies defined. Data is aged according to the primary copy retention rule only when all data eligible to be aged is copied to all active copies during an auxiliary copy operation.

What happens in terms of Data Aging when a secondary copy is disabled?

Good afternoon.  If the Aux Copy was “caught up” meaning there are no jobs to be copied before it was disabled, then the Aux Copy rule will be ignored.  However, if there are jobs still in a “to be copied” state on the disabled copy and the Aux Copy is not run, the jobs will not age unless marked “Do Not Copy”.
