Has anyone heard of or every set there TSM file version retention
polices to 30 days across all clients?

My opinion is that this is a poor practice and the policies should be
tailored to the business requirements of the department and application.

Our file servers are configured this way (verexists=nolimit,
verdeleted=nolimit, retextra=35, retonly=35) because explaining "30 days
of backup retention" to our users was much simpler than trying to explain
"30 days or the last three or blah blah blah."

And yes, we say "30" but TSM is configured for 35.
