Yes, but it is better to use 60 instead of 59.

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM 5.3.4 Policy problem

Hello All,



I meet a problem,

If I want to retain deleted data 60days in TSM, what commands should I input
to modified policy in TSM?



should the "versions data exists"  and "versions data deleted" be modified
from 2 to 59 , right?



These are my configuration:
