Hi,

If I have the following retention settings

File Retention = 30 days
Job Retention = 6 months
Volume Retention = 1 year

Then am I correct in thinking that when I back up my catalog, I should only keep it for 6 months? My thinking being that the catalog itself contains 6 months of Job records and is 6 months old, so keeping it for any longer is meaningless.

Also, is it bad practice to store the catalog backups along with the filesystem backups themselves?

Thanks for any help,

-Ian
