Josh Elser commented on HBASE-16574: ------------------------------------ bq. base.backup.system.ttl deserves a separate sub-section to explain user how to control TTL of a backup images and data Can you expand on this a bit further for me, [~vrodionov]? Is it as simple as if I set a TTL of 1day and then create a full backup, that full backup will "disappear" after 1 day (and thus the data will be automatically cleaned up locally)? Any other metadata that needs to be resolved? If I want to change the TTL (realize that I set it too small, and want to amend it), do I need to restore and create a new backup or is there a mechanism to alter the existing backup "records" in {{hbase:backup}}? Will get your other feedback incorporated, Vlad.
