Del, I read the readme (that sounds strange!) and it says that for incremental's tdp always uses unique file names so the parameter that governs how many copies to keep is the retonly variable. Does this mean that full backups use the same name every time and the parameter to use is the retextra? I know with v1 it used the server name and date to denote the backup set name which would also be unique. Can you clear this up for me???

TDP for Exchange version 2 uses TSM full policy management so you can set up your management classes to control all of this through policy settings and INCLUDE lists.
