My goal was to hide the additional 12 months (only give the user the ability to view the past 30 days) of dumpster data. Looks like we'll just need to set DIR to 13 months and have our users deal with it. Appreciate the feedback.
It would be nice in a future version or SP to give an administrator the ability to set a user view within the dumpster. -Scott From: Michael B.

If you enable either Single Item Recovery (SIR) or Litigation Hold (LH) on a mailbox, then a mailbox moves from using Dumpster 1.0 to Dumpster 2.0. SIR _is_ Dumpster 2.0. Deleted Item Recovery (DIR) and LH control the length of SIR. LH wins, obviously. Just set DIR to 13 months. Regards, Michael B.

For instance, our standard Exchange 2007 deleted items retention is 30 days. Anything else beyond that and we have to go to tape. With Exchange 2010, I'd like to keep the user visible 30 day dumpster, but extend the Single Item Recovery option to roughly 400 days (13 months or so which is our tape scratch policy). Based on my reading here: (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee364755.aspx) it appears it may not be possible. The problem I'm trying to solve is eliminate our current tape backups with a DAG mixture of replicated db's (live between datacenters) and lagged databases, with the lagged db's only being used to fix corrupted db's. It appears the solution would be to extend the dumpster to 400 days if two unique values cannot be set. Thoughts?
