Hi All - I believe I have my management classes all defined with a major flaw. We do scheduled modified backups during the week and scheduled absolute backups on Sundays. I have two management classes defined. Both have the same retentions coded but one has "absolute" for the copy mode and one has "modified" coded. I have a script that swaps the default management class on Sundays. After rereading the manual and looking at the archives of this list, it seems there's no guarantee that the backup will use the default Management class. Also, if I've specified to keep 30 versions of the data in both management classes, does that mean I'm going to retain 30 versions from the "absolute" and 30 versions of the "modified"? I really want 30 versions all together.
My thought is to create multiply policy sets, and activate the policy set that contains only the management class I want. I would then specify a retention of 4 versions for my policy set that contains the management class for "absolute". This won't delete any of my 30 versions that were saved using the policy set that contains the "modified" management class, will it? Does this make sense, or am I still way off here? Diana
