Was working today doing some tape stuff and when testing my PowerShell script to create GFS pools noticed that when you go into the Advanced settings for the Daily, Weekly, etc. section of the pool properties you see two monthly and no quarterly.

I have logged this on the Forums as a potential bug but wanted to give a heads-up as it is just cosmetic, mainly the main page for the retention options shows Quarterly proper (which I thought they were removing?).

Is Quarterly an option in Tape then? They removed that in VBR for regular Jobs back in..what...v11?

I thought quarterly was deprecated without looking too closely. Thanks for sharing ​@Chris.Childerhose

I think quarterly was removed a while back. I had a customer that insisted on them and there was a script that went and yanked out VBK files for file to tape jobs. It was not pretty 🤣. But this was a few years back and my memory might be tricky.

They got rid of Quarterly Tape in Veeam 11 I think but can’t find the link so take with a grain of salt

That is what I thought too Rick.  So odd it is there again in v13.
