Thus if I run the full expire inventory process on the server and not the client backup the missing files on the server wont expire and will remain active.
An important distinction here: older "Inactive" file versions will continue to age away and be discarded by successive expiration processes. But if the file was active the last time you ran an incremental of the machine, it will stay that way, and you can expire inventory as often as you like. Only inactive file versions will be eventually pared away. - Allen S. Rout
