Thanks for the response,
but I still don't get the point. Assume that I use same names for my VGs, In this case if I do for example:
/retain_days = 10/
and
/retain_min = 15/
in lvm.conf file, what is the system's behaviour when archiving backup files? Please explain specifically.

Hi

Archive file should be kept for at least 10 days, and there should be kept at least 15 archive files.

So in better example:

If you have i.e. many files generated daily - this makes sure you should have files at least 10 days back as well (otherwise it could happen you could have backup only from last few recent commands)

If you run lvm2 modifying commands very occasionally - you should still have at least 15 historical archives (otherwise it could happen you could have very few archives if any....)

As you can see both are 'arming' at slightly different work flow.

Regards

Zdenek
