The active backups (the current versions of files that existed on the node at the time of its last backup) will be kept indefinitely. The inactive backups (older versions of files with active backups, and all backups of files deleted from the node before its last backup) will eventually age off unless the relevant copy group has retonly, retextra, or both set to 'nolimit'.
