> From what I have seen, only the active files are rebound.

Clarification:

All backup versions of a given file must be bound to the same management
class, so when the rebind occurs, it occurs for not only the active
version, but all inactive versions as well.

Files that have been deleted from the client (and thus have no active
versions) will not be rebound.
