Hi everyone there !!

Could someone explain me the principal advantages of having the backup 
organised by versions...¿?

Is it really an advantage to others backup softwares such as Veritas or Legato 
¿?

Thanks In Advance,

Regards,

Asunto: [ADSM-L] Retention of backup versions

I'm sure this question has been asked many times but I want to be sure what is 
going on:

A mgnt class has been defined so that 5 versions of a file are kept, with a 
retention of 30 days.
A file that is changed daily is backed up for 5 consecutive days. The next 
backup is taken 3 months later.
What happens to the inactive files?
Thanks
