I just checked a 3 month backup from last night (I don't have any 6 month).

It started @ 1197958489 (12/18/07 00:14:49)

It says that it expires @ 1205993689 (3/20/08 01:14:49)

A difference of 8035200 seconds; or 133920 minutes; or 2232 hours; or 93
days

I have seen it documented somewhere that a month in NB was 31 days just to
make sure.

Use bpimagelist on a backup in your 6month retention policy to see the
backup time and the expiration time of the backup id.

Guys im being asked by management a bit of a stupid question but i don't
know for 100% so thought id check here.

If i have a retention set to 6 months i assume it is 6 months e.g from
02/01/07 to 02/07/07 and not 6 * 4 weeks or a certain number of days?

I know you can edit retentions but im just questioning the standard ones.

Cheers
