Dennis,
FWIW, I don't like a N days/N versions strategy. It can have unexpected
side effects.
N Days/unlimited versions has more predictable behaviour and also is more
efficient at expiry time.
Regards
Steve.

Currently, our backup environment employs a 90-day / 7 revision backup
policy. My customer has come to me to find out how much our backup data
would grow or shrink if we went to a 21-day / 21-revision backup policy.
Have any of you out there experience requests like this before, and if
so, how were you able to get a reasonable guestimate of this.
