Do you have a directory statement. I don't remember the exact wordage but DSMC or something like that in the .sys file. If not then what you are probably seeing is directories being rebound to the new class. If there is not a DSMC command then directories bind to the class with the largest retension. Could this be what is happening?

I have been doing this with the following steps :- 1) Create a new management class called RETDEL750 under the STANDARD policy domain. The STANDARD backup copy group under the new man class looks as follows :- Policy Domain Name STANDARD Policy Set Name STANDARD Mgmt Class Name RETDEL751 Copy Group Name STANDARD Versions Data Exists 3 Versions Data Deleted 1 Retain Extra Versions 180 Retain Only Version 750 Ok, so I'm happy that this means keep files deleted from the client backed up for 750 days. 2) Now, I validate and then activate the STANDARD policy set. This works fine. 3) Assign the new management class to the required dir with an include statement. As follows :- include /app/production/.../* retdel750 Now, the problem I have is that the backup for the following night shows some strange behaviour for all clients using the STANDARD policy domain in that all clients see a lot of files being rebound. But I would expect to only see rebound files for the client and dir with the include statement. Is this a bug, or am I missing something here (or just being stupid and doing something wrong)?
