Convert to GFS

Post by lienkristian »

Hi, I have a customer who is running backupjobs only and not copy, and have 780 restorepoints on a HPE StoreOnce, is it possible to change to GFS on existing jobs and change it to 3 years, 12 months and 4 weeks? And Veeam does all the cleaning of the files?

Hi Kristian
In 6 days Veeam Backup and Replication 10 will go GA, allowing GFS Retention on primary Backup Jobs to be set and of course Veeam will handle cleanups!
However, note that it will start new archival backups cycle according to your GFS policy, so existing 780 points will not be magically converted into archival copies.
/Cheers!
