policy 1

Hallo,
some browse and retention policy is setting by 14 days but if I make mminfo -c xxxx -r ssretent I can see 2 months. How is it possible?
Thanks Dadie

Yes, this is possible. In general, since NW 6.0 you can set the browse & retention policies independently. However, if you use a script that runs save/savegroup you can also set the policies (exactly: the dates when browse & retention policies will expire). These options will then overwrite the "standard" policies.

Thanks for answer. What do I have to do to browse and retention policy was really 14 days not 2 months? I thought that if I set policies in the client setup, saveset will have policies 14 days? Where do I set it to Networker accept?
Thanks, Dibi

Besides the policy resource you can use the following commands:

- at backup time:
save -w browse_time -y retention_time
or
savegrp -w browse_time -y retention_time

- after the backup (per save set):
nsrmm -S ssid -w browse_time -e retention_time

Please read the manpages for more details.

OK, another way:
I use this command:
(save set is created 05/01/04)
savegrp -w 05/15/04 -y 05/15/04

I want to find out real browse and expiration date:
mminfo -c xxxx -r ssretent
07/01/04 (2 month ?!)

How is it possible? It should be 05/15/04?!
Thank you very much. Dibi

Probably a bug. It works fine on my machine.
