Retention policies with SOBR

Post by Kazz »

Hi,

We have a requirement to keep 7 days worth of restores on prem for all VMs, additionally a handful of VMs need to be kept for 10 years in SOBR and the rest of VMs need to have up to 30 days of restores in SOBR.

If I am not mistaken I can accomplish this with 2 backup jobs where 1 job will have 30 days Retention Policy and the 2nd job will have 3650 days Retention Policy. I can't seem to find an option to delete on prem back ups after 7 days. Am I missing something or there is no way to set what can be kept on prem?

Thanks

Hello, Capacity Tier move policy with 7 days window will do that. Thanks!

Got it. Thanks

As far as 30 day and 3650 day retention of VMs that can only be set on a job. Correct? There is no way to have per VM retention on a single backup job.
