NetBackup 8.1.2 / 3.1.2 HotFix - Replicated VMWare images have incorrect target expiration (Etrack 3981646)

HotFix Critical

Abstract

NetBackup 8.1.2 EEB HotFix for Etrack 3981646 Replicated VMWare images have incorrect target expiration

Description

When VMWare backup images are written to Storage Lifecycle Policy and then replicated to a remote master, the image import on the target assigns a one week retention even if the original image had a retention of one month. The result is replicated images may expire sooner than expected after being imported by the remote host.

 

Solution

A HotFix is available for NetBackup 8.1.2 which resolves the issue of VMWare replicated images being assigned a 1 week retention after import of replicated images.

Note: This EEB should be installed on servers running NetBackup 8.1.2 version. If a previous version of the EEB is installed on a system, remove it before applying the newer version.
