These settings are useful for a client that is no longer being backed up (eg: a retired machine), but you wish to keep the last backups available for browsing or restoring to other machines."Sounds like that does what I'm looking for, and I just skimmed over the part about "keep the last backups available". I'm interpreting this as it'll retain all existing backups. Could anybody confirm?
Confirmed, except that 0 means "not disabled".AFAIU, the host still participates in cleanup according to the usual settings (FullKeepCnt, FullKeepCntMin, IncrKeepCnt, IncrKeepCntMin), but since you certainly didn't set all of those to 0, you will be golden.
