If you plan to use policy objects instead of a local retention policy (which is contained in the configuration file), you can create a retention policy.
As part of creating a retention policy, you can create a backup type and a policy schedule.

Guidelines to define Snap Creator policies
Snap Creator policies are user-defined Snapshot copy retentions that apply to the Snapshot copies on the primary storage and SnapVault and SnapMirror copies on the secondary storage. You can use a policy to define the number of Snapshot copies that you want to retain and the Snapshot copy age.
Creating backup types
You can optionally create a backup type using the Snap Creator GUI to help identify the purpose of a policy.
Creating policies
You can create a new retention policy by using the Snap Creator GUI to configure multiple Snapshot policies with different retention count.
Assigning policies
You can assign retention policies to the configuration files by using the Snap Creator GUI.
