It started @ 1197958489 (12/18/07 00:14:49) It says that it expires @ 1205993689 (3/20/08 01:14:49) A difference of 8035200 seconds; or 133920 minutes; or 2232 hours; or 93 days I have seen it documented somewhere that a month in NB was 31 days just to make sure. Use bpimagelist on a backup in your 6month retention policy to see the backup time and the expiration time of the backup id.

If i have a retention set to 6 months i assume it is 6 months e.g from 02/01/07 to 02/07/07 and not 6 * 4 weeks or a certain number of days? I know you can edit retentions but im just questioning the standard ones.
