Another TDP for Lotus Domino question.  I am setting up a new Policy
Domain, Policy Set, Management Class and Backup Copy Group just for the TDP
node.
The following are the parameters I am using for the Domain;
 Backup Retention (Grace Period) 38                                 - (to
have 38 versions or 5 weeks even if inactive)
 Archive Retention (Grace Period) 365                               -
(leave at default as I do not need this)

I have set up a Policy Set Name & Management Class and I am trying to
figure out how I should set up the Backup Copy Group for this Mgmt class.
I know to leave the Frequency, Mode & Serialization at the defaults because
they are not applicable to TDP.  My client would like to keep 5 weeks or 38
days of the DB backups and Tran Log Archives and we will use archival
logging.   At this time I plan to stagger 4 Tran Log archives every 6
hours, do an incremental DB backup once a day, 6 days a week, then a
selective backup once a week, plus I will use the BA client to do backups
with excludes of the DB's.  I haven't quite grasped the whole concept of
how I keep enough Tran Logs for the inactive DB's etc.
My question is if my Management Class is defined like below

Versions Data Exists 38
Versions Data Deleted 38
Retain Extra Versions 38
Retain Only Version 38

will I be accomplishing what I want for both the DB's & Tran Logs?  Or am I
doing an overkill?  I would appreciate any idea's you may have.
