Bill,

The logs are uniquely named based on the log name
and logger id. You are correct, they won't be
"inactivated" (forced inactive) until you run the
INACTIVATELOGS command.

When you run the INACTIVATELOGS command, DP for Domino
will determine what logs are necessary for the
current list of *active backups. It will inactivate
the remainder.

If you run a FULL backup, followed by an INACTIVATELOGS
command once per week, all logs prior to that should be inactivated...
That means the older logs will be marked *inactive.

When that happens, the policies for the
VERDELETED/RETONLY will become effective for those inactive logs.

I hope that helps.

Thanks,

Del
