I've been looking through the manual and I can't find a clear answer. We are
doing d2d2t and we would like to recycle volumes that have all jobs migrated
first, even if that means the retention period of the volume is not up.
Right now, I think the retention period has to expire before the volume is
considered to be recycled. The problem comes where we may have a large flux
of data some data and very little for a while. We have set our migration
policy for three weeks and our retention for four weeks, but sometimes we
have a lot of volumes that have been migrated and are just sitting taking up
disk space that could be used for other back-ups (we have to keep a lot of
disk space free to compensate for this flux) and then we wind up with a lot
of volumes with only about half really having data in our 3 week migration
window. I'm looking at "Action on Purge" to free the disk space of unused
volumes, but I don't think the volume is purged when all the jobs are
migrated.
If someone has clarification or a good idea of how to accomplish our goals,
it would be helpful.
Thank you,
