Hi Zoltan!

To exactly meet your requirements as written, I would do it the other
way:

verexists
nolimit

retextra
14

In a perfect world, they produce the same results.
But your way, if someone takes 2 backups in the same day, you have 14
versions, but only 13 days.
And, if a backup gets skipped, you have 14 versions, but they cover 15
days.

We have been analyzing of one of our nodes backups, to trim it down.

It was decided that certain directories (image backups of the Oracle
instance) only need to retain 14-days worth of daily backups....nothing
more.  The Oracle backups are taken daily, reusing the same files/names.

The following MC values have been suggested.  Would this do the trick ?

verexists
14

retextra
Nolimit

verdeleted

retonly
Nolimit
