When attempting to apply LTR retention, the target's LTR policy was not listed in the Retention Policy field in the Edit NAS dialog. Instead, the Retention Policy field contained the LTR of the source backup appliance. With this fix, the LTR of the target appliance displays and can be applied to the NAS copied asset.</li> </ul></td> </tr></tbody></table><p> </p> </article> </main>
