They haze just lifted with the 2nd cup of coffee.... When the INACTIVATELOGS
runs, all it does is "expire" the active versions and then they're retained
by the VERD/RETO parameters. So if, as Del suggests, I bind the logs to a
VERD=NOLIM,RETO=7, then I'll only be keeping them a week beyond when they
inactivate...?

So my 2 management classes for Domino would be:

VERE=NOLIM, RETE=35, VERD=NOLIM, RETO=35   for the databases
VERE=NOLIM, RETE=7, VERD=NOLIM, RETO=7      for the logs

They should find a way to start the day off like you've already had 2-cups
of coffee!! :-)

  I set this up a few months back and  I resigned myself to keeping the
transaction logs with the same retention settings as the files they are
linked to, as the two are bound together.

  But I thought that the logs were uniquely named and wouldn't go away until
  you did an INACTIVATELOGS command?? And if my oldest backup is 35-days
then
  the INACTIVATELOGS would only remove the logs that are older than that
full
  backup?? Or am I missing something here...(Which wouldn't suprise me!!!)

  Bill,

  How about using the INCLUDE statement to bind the
  log backups to a management class with different policies?
  For example:

     INCLUDE S*.TXN  MGMT_CLASS_7_DAYS

  where MGMT_CLASS_7_DAYS has settings of
  VERE=NOLIM, VERD=NOLIM, RETE=7 RETO=7

  Thanks,

  Del
