Hello,
I want to confirm that the Un-aged jobs on a tape library can be used to extend existing retention on a tape that is not exported yet.
I want to increse the retention before export it.
Thanks !

Hi
Aged jobs on a tape means they have met retention and now they can be overwritten. Tape being tape - all jobs have to be aged on the entire tape before the tape can be overwritten by other jobs. Before it is overwritten you can un-age the jobs to bring them back as active jobs, ensuring they temporarily wont be erased. You can then extend the retention on those jobs if you need them for a longer period.

Thanks Damian, I am talking about this option :
Do you know how to extend the retention set on a tape that is not exported yet ? I want to increase the retention before the export.
Thanks
Hello
It looks like the tape already has jobs within retention so this option will un-age the jobs on the tape that have already aged and let you manually set a new retention for the jobs.
