Hi,

use a rsh command like this

snap rename volname sv_nightly.0 2008_10

You may schedule this from an server at every last day in the month

If you want to keep a snapshot

snap rename volname sv_nightly.10 Snapshot_for_xxxx

The file fill up the missing one at the next snapvault schedule

regard

Betreff: snapvault retention questions

We're looking at using snapvault as a backup solution and after reading a bit of the documentation I was struck by the fact that it appears that the snapvault snap sched command can only schedule hourly, daily and weekly snapshots. Is there not a way to schedule monthly and yearly snapshots? Also, I don't see a way to specify that I want to keep one (or more) particular snapshots for a greater length of time without changing the whole destination volumes retention period. Is this correct?

Thanks for any insight on this.
