Re: Understanding Management class values
Zoltan, Retonly=nolimit will keep the last version of a deleted file forever. If the filenames in the directories are static, then it doesn't matter, but if files are being deleted, retonly=0 will give the fastest expiration from the server. I suggest a little grace period, say retonly=7.

Re: Understanding Management class values
Hi Zoltan! To exactly meet your requirements as written, I would do it the other way: verexists nolimit retextra 14 In a perfect world, they produce the same results. But your way, if someone takes 2 backups in the same day, you have 14 versions, but only 13 days. And, if a backup gets skipped, you have 14 versions, but they cover 15 days.

Understanding Management class values
We have been analyzing of one of our nodes backups, to trim it down. It was decided that certain directories (image backups of the Oracle instance) only need to retain 14-days worth of daily backupsnothing more. The Oracle backups are taken daily, reusing the same files/names. The following MC values have been suggested. Would this do the trick ? verexists 14 retextra Nolimit verdeleted 1 retonly Nolimit
