Preston,
Thanks for the clarification. To make sure I understand, let me
apply to a hypothetical situation:
I have a 2 week retention period. Full backups are conducted on
Sunday, with incremental throughout the week. If I ran a full
backup on week 1, the expiration would be two weeks from that date.
However, because of the dependency chain the actual expiration will
be 3 weeks (the date of the last incremental in the chain).
Assuming all backups completed successfully this is accurate.
A formula to model this situation is:
Expiration = save set retention of last dependent backup
Or to be more precise:
A saveset dependency chain expires when the last dependent saveset in
the chain expires.
Cheers,
Preston.
