Marc, You should use these copygroup settings:
VEREXISTS NOLIMIT RETEXTRA 31 VERDELETED NOLIMIT RETONLY 31 That way, no matter how many backups you take within a month, it will still only keep them for 31 days. By the way, the TSM Server will never delete active copies of the DP for Domino backups. And so... if, for some reason, you did not run a backup for more than 31 days, those backups will be kept longer than the 31 days. (I don't think you want the TSM Server to delete your only copy of the database backup, right?)
