If you go into the restore GUI for that node, one of the fields listed when you view the files you can restore is MGMT_CLASS. Look to make sure those files have the class MY_STANDARD listed and that will tell you it is working as expected.

I want to know how to verify the retention period of the files that are backed up. I don't want to keep any changed or deleted data older than 35 days. All of the retention information is set to 35 days in the backup copy group called STANDARD. Versions Data Exists 35 Versions Data Deleted 35 Retain Extra Versions 35 Retain Only Version 35 I think this is correct, but I am not sure if the backup that is run actually uses this copy group. I am not using the scheduler, but am launching the backups using a script that calls "dsmc i -optfile=backup.opt". In the backup.opt file I have domain \\server\docs\ include \\server\docs\ MY_STANDARD MY_STANDARD is the name of the Policy Domain and also the Policy Set and the Mgmt Class that the STANDARD copy group is in. This seems correct to me, although I honestly can say I don't really understand it. How can I verify that the backup used this copy group? Should all deleted and changed documents older than 35 days be removed using the 35 day entries listed above if this is the copy group being used? Thanks Scott
