Feature Request Availibity Period for restore file from tape

Post by bct44 »

Hello,
I've noticed over time that my operators have a nasty tendency to leave backups on disk after (stagging on sobr) restoring from tape.
I had to write a script to do the cleaning regularly.

I would love to add to the wizard process of restoring from tape an Availability Period like it's possible when doing the retrieval of backup files from archive tier.

Hi bct44,

Interesting idea! Mind me asking how much time in your case its ok to keep such backup in the repo and when it's ok to delete it? Thank you!

Hello Dima, interesting question i think 7 days by default could be enough to let time for the admin to do his action and not to have too great an impact on storage.
