In your example, Verexists=5 is correct (both active and inactive are
counted). Verdeleted should be 3 - when a file has been deleted, and then an
incremental backup is run, then all files that are kept according to your
rules will be marked as Inactive. The files are referred to as the "only
copy(s).

Looking through the AIX Admin. Guide, I come across the following example
(6.7.5
Defining and Updating a Backup Copy Group)...
Define a backup copy group belonging to the MCENG management class in the
STANDARD
policy set belonging to the ENGPOLDOM policy domain. This new copy group
must
do the following:
Let users back up changed files, regardless of how much time has elapsed
since the last backup
Retain up to 4 inactive backup versions when the original file resides on
the user workstation
Retain up to 3 inactive backup versions when the original file is deleted
from the user workstation
Retain extra inactive backup versions for 90 days
If there is only one backup version, retain it for 600 days
Prevent files from being backed up if they are in use
Store files in the ENGBACK1 storage pool
To define the backup copy group, enter:
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
? ?
? ?
? define copygroup engpoldom standard mceng standard - ?
? destination=engback1 serialization=static - ?
? verexists=5 verdeleted=4 retextra=90 retonly=600 ?
? ?
? ?
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Should the verexists be 5 as coded or 4? (Is the "Active" version counted
seperately from the "inactive"?)
In a similar manner, should verdeleted be 4 or 3?
Confused...
