Sabine,

Again, these files are only marked for expiration.  If you don't let
expiration run these files (the 2nd versions) will not be expired, and will
still be available for restore.  If you only keep two versions of a file,
you probably won't have to wait the full 30 days.  This depends on how much
your data changes... If you get two versions of theses files backed up
again these older versions are no longer necassary and you can let the
expiration process run again.

Hope this helps,

Rick Smith

Subject:  Antwort: I: Help !!! : Is there any way to undo a backup ???

Hey Rick,

the idea "not running an expire" is not bad.
But what`s with the "second versions"?
The policy-settins says, that a "inactive" file holds only 1 version.
I need both (two versions) of the files.
Is there any way to restore them if necessary ?


But i can`t hold on the "expire" vor 30 days (how the Policy-Setting
describes).

And tonight there runs the "right" backup again.

The active data still exists on the computer.
But i want to save the "second" and the "inactive"-Files for 30 / 90 days.

Have I a chance ???
