Gentleman,
 
Just a quick question with regards to retention periods in this example we
will use a 6 week retention period. Does that mean 42 days from that date
the backup will expire or on the 6th week that backup will expire?
 
The reason I ask is this;
 
We had a full backup run on 4/24/04, and last night that same tape was
re-used for a normal diff-incr backup. The 04/24/04 was a Saturday, and 6
Saturdays later (including the Sat that the backup occurred) the tape was
moved to the scratch pool.
 
BUT
 
When I run a bpimagelist against the backup id, the expiration date is
06/05/04 or 42 days since the backup occurred.
 
Thanks in advance for your input.
