If you need to GUARANTEE data retention for 45 days, set the parameters as
follows:

Versions Data Exists = NOLIMIT
Versions Data Deleted = NOLIMIT
Retain Extra Versions = 45
Retain Only Version = 45

Why?

The Version Data Exists and Deleted parameters specify a number of
versions.  If you, or someone else, runs more than one selective or
"absolute mode"  backup per day, you may not get as many days retained as
you intended.  The "Retain" parameters specify the number of days to keep
inactive versions.
