Hello,
I am trying to understand how the mgmt classes work with TDP for Exchange. I am only making legacy backups. I run a weekly full (on Sundays) and daily incrementals (all other days).
I seem to understand from the manual that the VEREXISTS parameter controls how many full backups will be kept in my storage, and the RETONLY parameter is in charge of the incremental backups, since each incremental has an unique name and is inactivated by any subsequente backup (full or incremental).
So, given the full and incremental serialization I'm taking, should I want to keep (say) the last 21 days worth of backup, how should I set my copygoup values to?
Would VEREXISTS=3 and RETONLY=21 be a sensible setting? And what about VERDELETED and RETEXTRA, can I just disregard these parameters in this context?
I remember I found a document on the 'net that explained this in plain words but can't seem to find it anymore.
Thanks!
