It uses both specs and it applies all of them. Thus, the answer to your question is the 7th file will fall off after 30 days and there will only be 6 due to the following:
Retain Extra 30 Versions rule. Also if you delete the file, the next day (or after a backup up and expire inventory) you will only have 3 versions due to the follow: Versions Data 3 Deleted clause.

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!
