Points to consider before adding retention policies
Before implementing retention policies on Veritas Alta SaaS Protection, there are some important points to keep in mind:
Items that have a retention period assigned to them cannot be deleted.
Retention periods can only be extended, not reduced.
If an item has multiple retention periods, the longest one takes priority, except for when it is in WORM Pending status.
If an item falls under multiple retention policies, the policy that has WORM pending status plus the one based on the last modified or archival data takes priority.
Retention periods for existing item versions are applied by event-based retention, and new versions are verified periodically.
Item-level WORM policies apply retention periods to new items and versions during the writing process without affecting existing versions in storage (Stor).
Deleting a policy does not affect existing items under the retention period.
