Are snapshot copies for SnapLock volumes deleted automatically according to the retention count set in the Snapshot schedule?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Applicable
• D. Not Determined

Answer: (A)

Snapshot retention on SnapLock volumes is automatic and governed by the Snapshot schedule. The retention settings define how long each snapshot must be kept and how many snapshots to retain. When snapshots age beyond their configured retention window, the system automatically deletes the oldest ones to comply with the policy. Since SnapLock enforces immutability during the retention period, manual deletions are restricted until the retention expires, making the automatic cleanup the expected behavior. So, snapshot copies are deleted automatically according to the retention count set in the Snapshot schedule.
