BEWARE that many times you are legally obligated to maintain 7 years of
data.
Unfortunately, you may be required to ALSO provide data past the 7 year
legal requirement IF you have it and IF you can restore it.
One company I was at, determined that infinity should only be 7 years
in order to avoid a court order to provide the older data.
They not only had me change the current policies to use a 7 year
retention, 
they also had me recalculate the expiration dates on existing images
that were set to infinite (2038) retention.
That edict came from their legal department.

Guys
Regarding the "retension" setting under any schedule. After 1 year, it
moves from Infinity Level 9 to Level 24.
 
Just what level should be used it you want to retain something for say
10 years.
 
Thanks
