You have to take in account for dependant savesets, the retention is usually 
double of what you think.

sample Retent = 7 days

Sun Mon Tues Wed Thur Fri Sat   Sun Mon Tues Wed Thur Fri Sat  Sun
  F     I       I      I      I      I     I             F    I       I       I 
      I     I     I    F  ......

Note the 1st Full  and the next 5 "I" won't  go into recycle status un till the 
1st Sat saveset is seven days old
