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).

• 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.
