Increase the maximum supported SafeGuarded Copy captures beyond the current 500

The current limit of 500 SGC captures means we have to have a trade-off between the frequency of captures, and the retention period of those captures. We have currently have a company-wide requirement for 7 days retention, which means we are limited to just under 3 captures per hour. Some of our customers would like to exceed that limit, potentially quite significantly. We'd like support for around 2,000 captures to be supported to provide flexibility on both variables.

An identical Idea has been raised for DS8000 since we recognise that support will be required from both products to provide the support we require. The DS8000 idea is DS80-I-172

    This is a good idea for LBG.

    In current plans we would not reach the limit of 500 yet, but if the business decides otherwise about frequency or retaining limit, we would not want this to be a limiting factor.

    Would be ok, since it does not affect the recovery performance. Currently with 7 retained versions it takes about 30 minutes on our installation to make data fully available to be read, using a few TB only.
