Hello,
if you change the version data exists from 5 to 3 and activate
the policy set, it will not automatically eliminate the extra two
copies right away, even if you run the expiration process.
The file has to be backed up again for the extra files to get
deleted otherwise they will expire according to the "retain extra"
parameter.
Good day !

Here's a simple question for you guys...If I change the copy control of
a management class and activate it, does it make the changes for all
data that was already backed up using that management class, or just
future backups?  For example, if I change the number of versions - data
exists from 5 to 3, will expiration eliminate the 2 extra versions that
I have decided I no longer want to keep?
