We just err on the side of saving a couple extra. Generally, the number of GDG's is actually synonymous with Weeks, Months, days. (as a rule). With CMOD compression, it's just easier to keep a couple of extras. 5 Daily GDG's, we would save a week or 2. Many times the users will have a "oh, I wish I had just ONE more..." Remember that it doesn't need to be obvious to the user. You can keep a Month of them, but had the default date range on the FOLDER be 14 days. If they don't change the date they think that is all there is. Easier to keep a couple of extra's than try to RESTORE that needed report from "Somewhere". Make sure the Folder is sorting on the appropriate Date Descending so they seem them in descending (newest to oldest). Add a defaulting LOAD DATE if needed.
