DongDong, I see two possible reasons: 1. Your retention policy expires the version before the maximum count versions data exists is reached. If the retain-extra value is set to a low number (like 4 days) and you change the file every 3 days, this behaviour would be as expected. 2. You forgot to

If you are talking about the actual volhist.out backup file, I'd keep one for every dbbackup. If you are talking about volume entries in the volhist, I'd go with Remco's post. Not that DBBackups are expired by setting the proper options under DRM so you don't have to run a del volhist type=dbb or
