RETO is only used when you are down to one version. So if the file is deleted but you have 3 versions of the file prior to it being deleted then you will still keep those 3 versions based on the RETE value of 365. The RETO will only be used when 2 of the 3 versions have been expired in TSM and you are down to your last and final version. Kyle

You can test by setting up a MC using 1 day and 2 day periods. I would test to make sure it behaves as expected.
