There is some confusion as to how backup copy groups work with the
retention periods of files. Could someone please clarify? Thanks!!!
Here is the backup copy group in question:
Policy Domain DESKTOP
Name
Policy Set Name STANDARD
Mgmt Class Name STANDARD
Copy Group Name STANDARD
Versions Data 7
Exists
Versions Data 3
Deleted
Retain Extra 30
Versions
Retain Only 90
Version
Copy Mode MODIFIED
Copy SHRSTATIC
Serialization
Copy Frequency 0
Copy Destination SPACEMGPOOL
File1 File2 File3 File4
File5 File6 File7
Created 1/1/03 1/2/03 1/3/03 1/4/03
1/5/03 1/6/03 1/7/03
If I have 7 files out there (1 still being the active version) and I no
longer make any changes to the file, therefore the file doesn't get
updated, in this environment, if 30 days have passed (and the date is
2/7/03), will the 7th version of the file fall off and leave only 6
remaining versions of the file even though the versions data exist is 7?
Or will 7 versions of that file always exist as long as the file is
"active"? Thanks for any help!
