Changing retention periods

Set the default retention periods by selecting NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Master Server > Double-click on master server > Servers > Retention Periods.

The retention periods are indexed to different levels. For example, the default retention period for level 0 is one week. NetBackup also uses the level to determine the volume to use to store a backup.
