What about
"What if a user deletes a file and needs it back after 7 days"
are they out of luck ?

Yes, that was the spec that Bruce Dollens originally posited.

I responded wrong I meant
"You are deleting all backups of a file 7 days after being deleted
from the filesystem"
What if a user deletes a file and needs it back after 7 days.

No Tim
Its number of versions or number of days retained, whichever is
*shorter*.

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 are wanting to setup a new policy domain and management class for
our
Active Directory backups. 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!
