Reduce / Extend GFS period

[tjdoc]

Hi,
Please could someone advise if it is possible to do either of the following, for a backup file which has a GFS period set on it;

-Reduce the period of retention for a file that was written to an immutable storage repo (repo immutability period = 30 days / GFS period 5 years)
-Extend the period of retention for a file that was written to an immutable storage repo (repo immutability period = 30 days / GFS period 1 year)

(Note: the files are offloaded copies in an Object Storage capacity tier, that were originally written to a performance tier in a SOBR)

I'm guessing that neither of these are possible, but just wanted to check...

Many thanks!

You should change the retention policy on the job and when the job executes, it will alter GFS flags on the backup files.
