protection policy snapshot retention use number of days as opposed to snapshot

Hello experts,

Right now the protection policies does not allow to have a snapshot retention based on the age/date of the snapshot, it only allows based on the number of snapshots. Has anything change, or is it still like this?

Thanks,

Hi,

There is a setting available to define snapshot retention age. Refer https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMLP2604630/html/GUID-0061D1F9-B225-43A0-9689-B384F0F7BAE8.html
