Manually Running the Retention Process
Note: Extended Journal Copy is not available in the ZVM Appliance.
After initializing the VPG, the Retention process is run automatically as scheduled.
You can run the Retention process without waiting for the scheduled time. Use the following procedure:
To manually run the Retention process:
| 1. | In the Zerto User Interface, go to one of the following tabs: VPGs / VMs / Extended Journal. |
| 2. | Select one or more VPGs for the Retention process, and click Actions > Run retention process. |
| 3. | Click OK. The retention process starts. |
| • | You can monitor the progress in the Extended Journal tab and the TASKS pane. |
| • | During the Retention process you cannot perform operations on the VPG without first aborting the Retention process job. |
| • | If you start a live failover during the Retention process, you are prompted to abort the Retention process job. |
| • | The scheduled Retention processes for the VPG are skipped until the manual Retention process ends. |
