Hi Joni, it will keep 7 copies for 30 days. If any of those 7 files go over 30 days they get expired. It's a either/or thing, whichever comes first I guess you could say.
If you want to just keep 7 copies, then make retain extra unlimited and it will keep 7 copies for ever.... Mark -----Original Message----- From: Joni Moyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 9:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: backup copy group 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!
