Could not convert BINARY FILE item to text.
Will attempt to 'shar' item as file '02jrjrf' at end of msg.

     Those would first fall into the "retain extra" and then the "retain
     only" area and the "retain only" says : Specifies the retention time,
     in days, for the last backup version of a file that has been deleted
     from the client's file system.
     Now knowing that the legal system has gone nuts in this society they
     can't come right out and say anything very specific 'cause it might
     bite them later in court BUT I'd assume it would be from the day of
     detected deletion.
     later

                there should be a law against laws

We recently had an incident where a disk failed and was replaced and a
backup run over the new empty filesystem. All the files were flagged
inactive. After much pain and suffering we managed to get things back
to where they were, but a concern came up for which I didn't have an
answer. If this happens do we have to worry about the files expiring?
Our expiry period is 1 year. Would the files be expired 1 year from
the point they were last backed up? Or 1 year after they were deleted
from disk? We have a lot of old files that are accessed frequently but
haven't been modified in a while.

Thanks,
