Re: Windows PIT Restore issues
Well I'm confused now... First you said the folder is bound to a management class with verexists=2. But then you said you have DIRMC MCNOLIMIT. I'm not sure how to reconcile these two seemingly contradictory statements. So I can only offer some additional guesses at this time... This is probably not what you are saying... but "for the record", adding the DIRMC MCNOLIMIT after the fact will not help with the current existing backup versions. If you've been running all along with DIRMC MCNOLIMIT, but the folders are still bound to MC7YR, then something is overriding your DIRMC. Maybe there is a duplicate DIRMC in the options file, or a client option set is forcing DIRMC MC7YR. If an override is not occurring, then maybe your backup is using a different options file, or else you are using the classic scheduler and didn't restart it after adding the DIRMC to the options file.

Re: Windows PIT Restore issues
I did try creating a management class with the following settings and specified the management class in the opt file using DIRMC MCNOLIMIT Versions Data Exists nolimit Version Data Deleted nolimit Retain Extra Versions 90 Retain Only Version90 Could be that the MCNOLIMIT has not been bound to those folders. If Im reading your article correctly, even with the current settings (retain extra version = 30) it seems that I can only go back 1-2 days before the folder will not be displayed in the GUI. This makes sense since the versions data exist = 2.
