You are then in essence keeping deleted versions of files forever right ?
With "Versions Data Deleted: Nolimit"

Hi Bruce
IMO the best way is
Versions Data Exists: Nolimit
Versions Data Deleted: Nolimit
Retain Extra Versions: 7
Retain Only Version: 7
This guarantees that the data will be kept 7 days. With your setup, if
someone runs a selective, or an extra incremental in the middle of the day
on a file that has changed, the last version will be pushed off. Also, as
a bonus, expiration processing is more efficient where the versions
parameters are not in play.

We are wanting to setup a new policy domain and management class for our
Active Directory backups. We want to keep only 7 days of backups. If I
wanted to accomplish this would the management class look like this? (I
have a difficult time with this part of it for some reason).
Versions Data Exists: 7
Versions Data Deleted: 7
Retain Extra Versions: 7
Retain Only Version: 7
Thanks!
