Long-Term Retention report

The Long-Term Retention report provides an overview of assets and their respective long-term retention policies.

Retention compliance for an individual asset can be viewed by clicking it in the table. The resulting dialog lists all retention points mandated by the policy and indicates if they are compliant. Compliant retention points have at least one successful backup available for each retention point.

When finished, click Report Categories in the upper left to return to the Available Reports page.

Notes:   

• Source appliances may be selected when running this report; however, only the assets of managed sources display.
• A supplementary Retention Compliance Details report is also available. This report is not visible in the UI and must be manually retrieved from the appliance's file system. For instructions on generating and modifying the Retention Compliance Details report, see How to generate and modify the Retention Compliance Details report.
