Our organization would like to be able to have 30 days of backups to restore to 
on production servers.
I had my "versions data exists" at 30 but I cut it back down due to tape 
storage restraints. I have a 
DBA that says he needs to have "Versions data deleted" at 10 due to 
considerations he has with his AIX-SP2 system.
I have a request to up my settings back to 30 but I was wondering if there is a 
way I can optimize these settings and still
get management what they want.
I have my copygroup setup this way currently:
