Data Aging Operations Not Aging Data
Data Retention Forecast and Compliance Report Error Codes
Cause:
When a storage policy changes its subclient association without converting the next backup operation to a full backup, data aging operations will not age the data after the last full backup until a new full backup operation is run on the subclient for which the storage policy changed and it has met its retention criteria.
Solution:
Run a full backup operation on the subclient for which the storage policy changed. Once the retention criteria is met, the data will be aged.
The following table contains the error codes that may be displayed in the Reason for Not Aging field found in the Data Retention Forecast and Compliance Report. This field is populated with one of these codes when data is not aged. Code descriptions are provided to assist users with troubleshooting.

* | For these backup operations, restorability is ensured for the copy's retention days. If retention days is set at 0 or this is a spool copy, then these backup operations are kept, by default, for 30 days. This is configurable via the control panel's Media Management Configuration (Service Configuration). |
