Uh. Oh. But why not simply move the media to the archive pool?
My main pool is a 'normal' one:
Pool {
Name = FVG-SV-SVPVE3LTOPool
Pool Type = Backup
Volume Use Duration = 10 days
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Action On Purge = Truncate
Volume Retention = 20 days
}
I've setup an archive pool:
Pool {
Name = FVG-SV-SVPVE3ArchiveLTOPool
Pool Type = Backup
Volume Use Duration = 7 days
Recycle = no
AutoPrune = no
Volume Retention = 10 years
Job Retention = 10 years
File Retention = 10 years
}
documentation say me that i can set 'Job Retention' and 'File Retention' on
a pool, and effectivaly 'lock' job and file retention for the media of that
pool.
So i've done:
*update volume=SVPVE3_0001 pool=FVG-SV-SVPVE3ArchiveLTOPool
New Pool is: FVG-SV-SVPVE3ArchiveLTOPool
*list media pool=FVG-SV-SVPVE3ArchiveLTOPool

so, move the media to the new pool, and the reapply media parameter of the
new pool.
Unfortunately jobs and file are just expired for 'SVPVE3_0001', so i cannot
test anymore, but i think will suffices...
