I hope Legato is listening to this for future versions.  While Networker can
do just about anything doing it through the GUI is often difficult.
Sometimes I would love to just throw the GUI away and just run the save
commands from the clients.  

The save command has the necessary switches to set Expiration and retention
times to whatever but there is no way to do it through the GUI.  Seems like
they just need to allow schedules to have a retention associtated with  them.
Then just feed the retention periods to the clients when the groups start
just like the level is now.

Subject: Re: [Networker] How to assign different policies / retentions to a
client?

Thanks Darren

I just hoped there was a pretier way to manage retentions with groups as
oppose to creating several hundreds additional client entries.
But I guess that's the way ....

Sorry, since retention is only a property of the client instance, that's how
you have to do it.

Added complexity, but it doesn't cost you a license.

I suppose you could run a script to change the retention just before a group
runs, but that seems too fragile.
