Hi Dave.....

Here's a short description of the Version  Data Deleted parameter:

The maximum number of different backup versions that the server retains
for files and directories that have been erased from a workstation. The
server ignores this parameter while the file or directory remains on the
workstation.
If users erase a file or directory from their client nodes, then the next
time
a full incremental backup is run, the server changes the active backup
version to inactive. The oldest versions that are more than the number
specified by this parameter then expire, and the server deletes them the
next time expiration processing runs.
The expiration date for the remaining versions is based on the Retain Extra
Versions and Retain Only Version parameters.

   Have a nice day

I'm confused about how the VERSIONS DATA DELETED paramater works.

If the backup copy group specifies

Versions Data Exists 30
Versions Data Deleted 1
Retain Extra Versions 30
Retain Only Version 30

And the following takes place

6/29/99 file dave.oracle.dump.Tue is created and bound to this mgmt_class,
        during the nightly incremental.
6/30/99 file dave.oracle.dump.Tue is deleted.
7/6/99  file dave.oracle.dump.Tue is created again and bound to this
mgmt_class,
        during the nightly incremental.

     What will be the availability of the file created on 6/29?
