Hi Stuart,

If you want to keep your backups based on time,
your management classes should look something like this:

   VEREXISTS   NOLIMIT
   VERDELETED  NOLIMIT
   RETEXTRA    30
   RETONLY     30

This will make sure all backups are kept for at least
30 days, regardless of how many times the backups are run.

Thanks,

Del
