Question

VM Backups gain extended retention when subclient changed


Forum|alt.badge.img+6

I have noticed any time I change the subclient of a VM I am backing up via VSA, the last backup on the old subclient gains the yearly extended retention.

 

Is there any way I can prevent this in the future, and is there any way I can bulk resolve this for all the previous VM backups that have this problem

Hi @Kiwi_Dave,

This is a strange one to me, I have a bunch of questions to try figure this out 😁. Where are you seeing the extended retention being applied? in the estimated age date or some other place? Does it specifically say extended retention?

Do you know if you are using V1 or V2 indexing (VM centric)

Also, how are the VMs shifting between subclients, is this because of discovery or is there somebody manually doing it? One VM per subclient or multiple VMs in each subclient?

My bad, it was the backup set that was changed. That explains the retention settings being as they were

Ah no worries. Glad you figured it out!
