Each backup of the database will go through the following sequence:
1.SQL-BackTrack will pick a unique file name for that day's backup.
2.SQL-BackTrack will tell the ADSM server that a new file has been created
with the selected name, and send the database backup as the contents of that
file.
3.After 30 days, SQL-BackTrack will tell the ADSM server that the file has
been deleted.
4.Because SQL-BackTrack uses a new file name for each day's backup, the
deleted file will fall under the 'only version' rules, and will finally be
deleted from the ADSM database 180 days after step 3.
