[-s | -l | -L | -U] [-M master_server,...]
{-r level period} | -d [-M master_server,...]
On UNIX and Linux systems, the directory path to this command is /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/
On Windows systems, the directory path to this command is install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\
DESCRIPTION
bpretlevel sets or changes time periods for each of the 100 retention levels and lists the current settings for levels. The time period can be specified in hours, days, weeks, months, or years. Retention levels 9 and 25 cannot be edited by the user.

0 (1 week)
1 (2 weeks)
2 (3 weeks)
3 (1 month)
4 (2 months)
5 (3 months)
6 (6 months)
7 (9 months)
8 (1 year)
9-100 (infinite, except 25 which is expire immediately)
Note:
If you run this command on a pre-NetBackup 8.0 media server, you can only specify a retention level between 0 and 24.

Specifies what information is listed and how the information is formatted in the output. The possible values are the following:
-s is the short listing which contains the retention level, retention period, and equivalent days. -s is the default value.
-l is the condensed listing which contains the retention level, number of seconds, and period with no headings or formatting.
-L is the long listing which contains the retention level, equivalent days, retention in seconds, and retention period.
-U is the user listing which contains the level, number of days, and label of the retention period.
- master_server

Include a space between the value and the units. For example, 3 d.
Note:
If you run this command on a pre-NetBackup 8.0 media server, you can only specify a retention level between 0 and 24.
