snapshot

[weiliu]

hello
I have modified the snapshot policy and set the snapshot to be saved every 14 days. Will the system automatically delete snapshots older than 14 days?

I'm not sure I completely understand this query

https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/data-protection/create-snapshot-policy-task.html

Generally within the snapshot policy you define when to create Snapshot copies, how many copies to retain, and how to name them

Let's say you applied daily schedule to create snapshots at 1 am and defined -count as 14

then snapshots will be created every day at 1 am

when they reach an amount of 14, the next snapshot creation -> the oldest snapshot will be deleted as per policy configuration it retains only 14

hopefully that answers your question
