You are then in essence keeping deleted versions of files forever right ? With "Versions Data Deleted: Nolimit"

Hi Bruce IMO the best way is Versions Data Exists: Nolimit Versions Data Deleted: Nolimit Retain Extra Versions: 7 Retain Only Version: 7 This guarantees that the data will be kept 7 days. With your setup, if someone runs a selective, or an extra incremental in the middle of the day on a file that has changed, the last version will be pushed off. Also, as a bonus, expiration processing is more efficient where the versions parameters are not in play.

We want to keep only 7 days of backups. If I wanted to accomplish this would the management class look like this? (I have a difficult time with this part of it for some reason). Versions Data Exists: 7 Versions Data Deleted: 7 Retain Extra Versions: 7 Retain Only Version: 7 Thanks!
