OSB write windows & keep volume set(Retention duration)

User369092Apr 24 2014 — edited May 7 2014

Hello, all

When I make a Media Family on secure backup, can configure time managed keep volume set and write windows.

As I know other vendor's backup software also has retension configurations.

ex) Symantec Veritas case

     If I make a policy with 1 weeks retenstion, same policy's backup image can be writable to media and appendable.

     And, If one media has a full capcity, backup software looking for other media.

     Retention Poliy check the media backup image and decide expired(recycle) date according to last backup image.

   

    2014/04/01  Full Backup(retention 1weeks) using new media(TEST01)     

    2014/04/02  Full Backup(retention 1weeks) using existing media(TEST01) append  

    2014/04/03  Full Backup(retention 1weeks) using existing media(TEST01) append and media Full.

    The Expried date for TES01 media is 2014/04/10 because of last backup image.

ex) Secure Backup case

     If I make a media family with 7days write windows and 10days time managed keep volume set,

    2014/04/01  Full Backup using new media failmily(TEST01)     

    2014/04/02  Full Backup using existing media(TEST01) append   

    2014/04/03  Full Backup using existing media(TEST01) append and media Full.

   

  when can I use this media again and when is the exactly media expired date?

  I want to know write windows(is it meaning of not appendable?) and keep volume set(is it real retenstion?) meaning..

Thank you advanced.
