Reduce minimum limit of 7 days in Inmutability Retention

[Gadelus]

Hello,

I have the need to reduce de minimum of 7 days of an inmutable repository retention.
This can't be done through the GUI but, do you know any way to do it? For example changing regedit or config files.

Thanks in advance everybody

Hi Sergio,

Right now it's a set minimum as per the User Guide entry here.

Right now no workarounds for this; may I ask on your intended use case here with the lower immutability?

Why would change this?
You can only use forward incremental with periodic(weekly) fulls.
Weekly = 7.

Unless you want to trigger more fulls manually / scripted.

my interest is piqued

Hi everybody,

The reason is lack of space in the repository but I need still having immutability feature.

Best regards,

The only option I can think of is creating the full more often than once a week.
However this will also require a bit more diskspace.

imho its better to create more diskspace than to alter this minimum.

I too would like to be able to reduce the minimum. The scenario I have is 1 single S3 backup server with 2 buckets: Performance and Capacity and a cloud s3 for long term storage. The Capacity is set for 90 day Immutabile and the Cloud S3 is set for 2 years of monthly backups. The problem is the Performance tier. I would like to only keep 1 day on the performance tier, which is not deduped or compressed, and just SOBR offload it right away to the Capacity tier, but I want the Performance tier to be immutable until to SOBR offload finishes.I have no control on when the SOBR offload will start or finish, so I would like to backup to the performance tier with immutability ideally for 20 hours. That way all my backups are protected and by the time the backups start the next day, the performance tier will no longer be locked to allow the cleanup process to happen. My weekly full backups are 27TB right now and I can't afford to hold on to 3 weeks of backups for 1 week immutability which is what is currently being done on a traditional NFS storage.

In that case, why not backup directly to s3?
