Define a new domain, define mgmtclass and copygroups with higher retention, define client schedules, update nodes to new domain, associate to client schedules, recycle the client scheduler and you are done.

Is there a way to exclude a group of clients from expiring any data for a time period? I see there is a way to do this for archived data. I'm talking incremental backup data. If I stop expiring altogether I think it wouldn't be long before I put my whole environment at risk. The only way I can think of to do this would be to rename all filespaces where I suspect there might be data I do not want to expire. This however would cause all those renamed filespaces to back up in full tonight. We're talking several TB of file server data. Any ideas? Sincerely, Joy Joy Hanna Enterprise Storage Group I.T.
