hello to all,

consider this: retain extra is set to 90 days, retain only is set to 30
days. I´m doing an daily incremental backup, after this I delete the file
xxx from workstations disk. How long the tsm server is keeping the file xxx
? 30 or 90 days ?

I defined the copy group like this:
 Versions Data Exists       3
Versions Data Deleted    3
Retain Extra Versions       90
Retain Only Version          30
Copy Mode                          MODIFIED
Copy Serialization             SHRDYNAMIC
Copy Frequency                0


The documentatios says:

RETExtra
     Specifies the number of days to retain a backup version after that
version becomes inactive. A version of a file
     becomes inactive when the client stores a more recent backup version,
or when the client deletes the file from the
     workstation and then runs a full incremental backup.

RETOnly
     Specifies the number of days to retain the last backup version of a
file that has been deleted from the client file
     system.


Thank you !
