DFM 5.2 Protection Manager backup retention issue

marks
3,092 Views

 

Does anyone know why 'dfpm backup list' doesn't list all of the backups that are in the snapvault secondary volume that are listed with 'dfpm dataset snapshot list' ?

 

We discovered this when troubleshooting why snapshots older than the retention periods configured aren't getting deleted. I think that the two are related but I may be interpreting the output incorrectly.

 

Thanks,

Mark

 

Here's the information about the protection manager config and the command output I'm seeing:

 

I have a dataset with Primary and Backup nodes:

  • The Primary node has 19 volume root qtrees (/vol/volname/-)
  • The Backup node has a single volume

The protection policy uses a base policy of 'Remote backups only' i.e. Backup primary to secondary without local backups.

  • The Primary node has no local backup schedule configured
  • Primary data to Backup has a schedule of Daily @ 0400 Monday>Saturday, Weekly @ 0200 Sunday 
  • The Backup node has backup retention durations set to 6.0 Daily, 5.0 Weekly
