Hey Guys,

I’ve been looking into automatic version control options in SHP and came across the automatic retention setting. This guided me to this site Plan Version Storage 

I have one major question about this feature that I haven’t found a clear answer for. Might just be that it’s unclear to me only.

They state the following:

All versions created within 500 count limit in first 30 days.Hourly versions (versions created at the top of the hour) between 30 to 60 day period.Daily versions (versions created at the beginning of each day) between 60 to 180 day period.Weekly versions (versions created at the beginning of the week) beyond 180 days or more are available indefinitely until the maximum 500 count limit has reached.

The site also states this (more to the top of the site):

Restore options: This setting ensures version history at key timestamps is always available for restore even on file with no new file edits.

Now, does this mean that if I enable this feature, we will have hourly, daily and weekly versions of every single file that this setting is applied on? Because, If I’m not mistaken, if I create a file and just leave it there for e.g. 15 years, this would create ±2060 versions?

1440 hourly’s for the first 60 days period120 daily’s for the next 120 days periodMaximum of 500 weekly’s

If this only keeps an hourly version as long as it was modified or it creates a version for the last hour and removes the pervious redundant version, I would love to apply this (maybe even tenant wide). If it just creates more redundant versions, .. I
