No-one has bitten Gary, so I'll take a stab

You have specified VERD=0 and RETO=778
So, when your file is deleted on disk, then TSM will keep either no
versions or for 778 days, whichever comes first.  This is not what you
want.

Change VERD to 1 and I think this will give the desired behavior. 1 version
kept for 778 days after deletion.

HTH

Steve.

Before I activate this policy set, I want to make sure it is doing what I
want.
What I need is to save the last version of everything for 778 days.
I think I've got it right.
