Maximum Snapshots parameter (Instant Recovery only)

One of several options for determining when Instant Recovery snapshots are deleted.

Policy validation fails if there is a mismatch of retention found on the snapshot. For example, if the Maximum Snapshots (Instant Recovery only) parameter is set to any value other than Managed by SLP and the SLP used in the same policy has Fixed retention for the Snapshot job the policy validation fails. If you have such a policy configured on a pre- 7.6 NetBackup master server, it is advisable that you validate and correct the policy after you upgrade to a NetBackup 8.2 master server.
