Overview:
Backup Reporter (VBR) 6.5.1 is capable of reporting on data sent to PureDisk (PD) Storage Units (STUs) using Storage Lifecycle Policies (SLP). When a backup is targeted to SLP, the retention of the initial copy of the backup is temporarily reset to infinity until all the necessary copies are made as defined in the SLP. VBR parses the Image data from NetBackup and encounters the following error when it parses an Image where the Retention is set to infinity.
