Retention on a deactivated backup copy


Hello,

We have a backup copy job that offloads data to an S3 storage. We want to change the bucket used, but for a new backup copy job. The question is: if we deactivate the first backup copy job, will it retain the applied retention settings? Currently, we have a 15-day retention, with 7 days set as immutable.

Thank you!

If you are disabling the initial Backup Copy job, then it will retain the retention and apply it in the background I believe.  The new job will use whatever retention is set up.
