Hello Peter! Yes it does sense, but be careful as you are holding indefinitely the version previous to the one is on the system. �How useful this file will be to you in, say... 4 years? 15 years?
Make sure this is a real bussiness requirement, otherwise set the RETEXTRA to some high value. It would not do much harm to let it just be NOLIMIT, but I liked you to take this into account.

I'm stuck in a logical dead end. I have a special group of machines that I'm backing up, that hold a really huge number of files, which don't have to be kept for a long time. 1) As long as a file exists on a machine, the current and the veriosn before shall be kept. 2) When a files is deletetd the last existing version shall be kept for max. 10 days. Versions Data Exists 2 Versions Data Deleted 1 Retain Extra Versions NOLIMIT Retain Only Version 10 Does this make sense? -- Greez, Peter.
