-retain <time>{h|H|d|D}

Optional. Set or extend the retention time for
the specified virtual copy to the specified time.
The virtual copy cannot be removed during
this time period.

NOTE:

Retention time restrictions are:

You must have a Virtual Lock license to
use the -retain option.

The minimum retention period is 1 hour;
the maximum is 43,800 hours/1,825
days (5 years).

The default retention time is 336 hours
(14 days).

This option cannot be used with -rc.

The retention time cannot exceed the
value of the InServ's
VVRetentionTimeMax.

You can set a retention time regardless
of whether the policy is numeric- or
expiration-based.

The retention time cannot be longer than
the expiration time (if the policy is
expiration-based).

If you create a remote virtual copy and
Remote Copy is set up in asynchronous
periodic mode, the retention time is
applied to the remote copy on the Remote
Copy backup server only. If Remote Copy
is set up in synchronous mode, the
retention time is applied to both the
remote copy on the Remote Copy backup
server and the virtual copy on the Remote
Copy primary server.

The retention time cannot be removed or
reduced after it is set.

To set no retention time for this virtual
copy, use a value of 0h.

-f

Optional. When used with the -retain option,
does not request confirmation for the retention
time modification.
