<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>&lt;P&gt;When your are using ARCHIVE each copy of the =
file will be saved as an</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>unique file with its own expiration date. Thus when =
you archive on a daily</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>basis with a retention of 5 days and once a month =
with a retention of 365</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>days the monthly archive will always be kept for 365 =
days.</FONT>
</P>

<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>&lt;P&gt;The rebinding is only taking place when you =
use ADSM's BACKUP function</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>(selective or incremental).</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&lt;BR&gt;I have a customer with the following =
requirements: He wants an incremental</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>backup taken every day. The databases on the client =
are archived (through</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>the database utilities) to ADSM daily. One time each =
month he wants to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>have the archive version kept for a longer period =
than the standard archive</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>retention. Since this archive is from the same =
databases I cannot use different</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>archive management classes (the next archive would =
rebind the files to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>the standard retention). How should I implement =
this?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&lt;BR&gt;Thank you very much for your reply in =
advance!</FONT>
