Is it possible to move a saveset?

[speculos]

I wonder if it is possible to move a saveset from a volume to another.
The reason is that some users asked me to keep some savesets for a long time (1 year), but the original save was on a pool with short retention, so the volume will be unusable for 1 year...
Ca I use "clone" for that?
Thanks for the ideas.

 

[Chapter11]

Yes. Look at the nsrstage command, and also be sure to look at the nsrmm command to adjust the expiration time of the saveset.

Yes, you can clone a saveset.

As Chapter11 pointed out, you can use the nsrmm to change the brose and retention time of the saveset.

However, given your description, I would clone the saveset and then mark the clone tape as suspect so that NetWorker does not recycle the tape. This is because savesets and their cloned savesets has the same browse and retention policy.
