Ladies and gents, 

Here's a question.  If I create an archive and set it to 3650 days
retention, from a particular file server.  Then after the archive is
created, If I go in and delete the file space from the backup side will
that also delete the archive?

 

My understanding from what I've read and known in the past is that it
will not (as the two are managed as separate entities backups are
managed file by file and the archive as a package).

 

However I did some backup file space clean up the other day, knowing we
had a good archive, and now the archive is gone.   I've done this
before, without these kinds of results, so the follow up would be, what
would make an archive just disappear?

 

 

See Ya'
