extend Retentiontime for ObjectLock repository

[sandsturm]

Hi

I want to extend the retentiontime of our objectlock repositories, which are used for the backupcopy jobs. I read the documentation and saw that modifying the retention is not possible for objectlock (immutable) repositories. I understand, that shorten the retentionperiod is not possible/allowed, That makes sense. But why is it not possible to extend the retentionperiod?
Am I right to say, that I have to create new repositories with a longer retentionperiod and create new backupcopy jobs to these new repositories as the only way?

thx,
sandsturm

Hello sandsturm

Yes, today a new repository is the only way to use a new retention/immutability period.

I understand, that shorten the retentionperiod is not possible/allowed, That makes sense. But why is it not possible to extend the retentionperiod?

Because this logic is not build in to the product. We can consider it to add it in a future version.
Your request is counted as +1.
