That means:
Version exists = nolimit ----------- I m effectively keeping the files that are 
on the system for ever. Fine with me !

Version data deleted = NOLIMIT --------- I m keeping the files that have been 
deleted from client forever just in case if i want to restore sometime later . 
-- my requirement -- fine with me.

Retain extra version = 1100 --- keeping the inactive versions for 1100 days 
that is approximately around 3 years -- and I can restore those active versions 
after 3 years too  and not beyond.

Retain only version = 1100 ---- After the deletion of files from client, the 
extra versions will be deleted and the ONLY VERSION LEFT WILL BE DELETED AT THE 
SAME TIME THAT IS AFTER 1100 DAYS.

What is Backup Retention (Grace Period) which is defined in Policy domain?

Kind Regards,
Sandra
