This may seem like a dumb question but I've got to ask it anyway. I'm trying
to decide if I need to perform "archives" of some data on certain computers.
Some contracts require us to keep data up to 7 years. Unfortunately the
amount of data we've got makes it almost impossible to archive even once a
month. So here is the question: If I use the include option for those
specific directories where the data is, can I bind it to a management class
that has a 7 year retention period? If the file is deleted on the client
will it is in the ADSM database for 7 years as long as I specify retonly
2555?

Would this setup do the trick????

Versions Data Exists     3

Versions Data Deleted    1

Retain Extra Versions    60

Retain Only Version      2555

Has anyone verified, on a smaller scale probably, that this works well?
