They haze just lifted with the 2nd cup of coffee.... When the INACTIVATELOGS runs, all it does is "expire" the active versions and then they're retained by the VERD/RETO parameters. So if, as Del suggests, I bind the logs to a VERD=NOLIM,RETO=7, then I'll only be keeping them a week beyond when they inactivate...?
So my 2 management classes for Domino would be: VERE=NOLIM, RETE=35, VERD=NOLIM, RETO=35 for the databases VERE=NOLIM, RETE=7, VERD=NOLIM, RETO=7 for the logs They should find a way to start the day off like you've already had 2-cups of coffee!! :-) Bill Boyer DSS, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 8:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TDP Domino and transaction logs I set this up a few months back and I resigned myself to keeping the transaction logs with the same retention settings as the files they are linked to, as the two are bound together.

And if my oldest backup is 35-days then the INACTIVATELOGS would only remove the logs that are older than that full backup?? Or am I missing something here...(Which wouldn't suprise me!!!) -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Del Hoobler Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 9:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TDP Domino and transaction logs Bill, How about using the INCLUDE statement to bind the log backups to a management class with different policies? For example: INCLUDE S*.TXN MGMT_CLASS_7_DAYS where MGMT_CLASS_7_DAYS has settings of VERE=NOLIM, VERD=NOLIM, RETE=7 RETO=7 Thanks, Del ---------------------------------------------------- > Client is running transaction logging for all databases.
