Configuring Automatic Snapshot Retention on a Target (BUI)
Use this procedure to set a different number of retained automatic snapshots on the replication target than what was set on the source appliance. Before performing this procedure, you must set a replication action on a project or share, and schedule automatic snapshots.
When performing this task, modify the replication action and the snapshot schedule from the appropriate project or share. If the replication action and snapshot schedule are set at different levels, edit the replication action at the same level where the schedule is configured, as shown in the following table:

Before You Begin
Before configuring automatic snapshot retention on a target, you must first do the following:
-
Create a replication action on a project or share: Creating a Replication Action (BUI).
-
Create an automatic snapshot schedule for the project or share: Scheduling Snapshots (BUI).
- On the source appliance, go to Shares > Projects.
- Select the project or share with the replication action and snapshot schedule, and click the Replication tab.
-
Click the edit icon
of the action you want to modify.

At the bottom of the Edit Replication Action window, click the Snapshots
tab.
The automatic snapshot schedules appear.
- In the field Keep At Most, change the value to specify the number of automatic snapshots to be retained on the target.
-
Click Apply.
Note - Automatic snapshot retention for replication has special processing during reverse replication. For more information, see Replication Snapshot Management.
