to now keep the 10 latest tapes offsite for complete DRP?

You do not have to change the retention of your database backups to retain
additional versions of data.
Changing the 'del volhist' you did is reasonable since you are changing the
retention of database tapes too the same retention.
Now I could be totally off base, lets see if a more experienced eye has an
opinion too.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Resend - Policy and DRP question
I sent this query a week ago but have not received a reply back. I am
resending in the hope that someone can offer some advice.
We have TSM version 5.2
I have changed the standard policy so that we now keep the 10 latest
versions of each file rather than 7.
I have also changed our del volhist to tod=today-10 where it was
previously 7.
I have been told that previously we had to keep the 7 latest copy tapes
and db tapes offsite for DRP to ensure that we could recover complete
servers. With the changes that I have made does this mean that we have
to now keep the 10 latest tapes offsite for complete DRP?
