Hi folks,
For all my backup volumes I have set the following:
File Retention: 60 days
Job Retention: 6 months
Volume Retention: 365 days
I have read and re-read the file restore section many times but would like
to have an independent confirmation.
My understanding is, if I NEVER re-cycle an off-site tape, by using the
"bscan" command, I should be able to restore data from a given volume (from
off-site) even after "Volume Retention" period had expired. e.g. 3 years
down the road ( ignoring the integrity of the tape, that being a different
issue).
Your input is much appreciated and if the above scheme is not a good idea,
please let me know an alternative option.
Thanks in advance.
Win
