Space reclaimation by changing retention policy

2003-10-30 Thread Stanley, Jon
Is there any way to quantify the amount of space that will be reclaimed via changing a retention policy and letting expiration run until it's done? For example, the current policy is 180 day/8 versions. If I change that to 30 days/3 versions, how much space would I gain? I'm sure it's quite subst
