The replication retention of SLP is the same as the snapshot and not the backup from snapshot when creating a SLP protection plan of Kubernetes workload on WEBUI.

Problem

The replication retention of Storage Lifecycle Policy (SLP) is the same as the snapshot and not the backup from snapshot when creating a SLP protection plan of Kubernetes workload on WEBUI.

For example:

Created backup schedule of Kubernetes protection plan with 1 day snapshot retention and  7 weeks retention of backup from snapshot:

And then the replication retention of associated SLP is set to 1 day (Same as the snapshot retention of protection plan):

Solution

Workaround:  Modify the replication retention of existing SLP from the command line.

<installpath>/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbstl <PP_SLP_name> -modify -rl x,x,x -no_validate
