Hey, all. I've purchased a new 4tb volume expressly for holding backups. I noticed that the in the UI, you set the retention policy on the volume itself, so I set this value to 3. However, I have 1 rather large container that almost completely fills the backup volume with 3 backups. So, I'd like to change the retention of this container only to 2 instead, while maintaining 3 for the rest of my containers. Is this possible?

Hi,
Through Datacenter > Backup you should be able to set up two backup tasks. One only containing the large container and another containing the other CTs and VMs you want to back up. Then you can specify the retention policy for each back up task in the retention tab. So you'd set the first task to keep-last: 2 and the second to keep-last: 2.
