Hi,
I need to setup a new archiving policy and have been asked to set it to 14 months retention plan - this means 1 year and 2 calendar months (1 year and 60 days). When I specify the month period, does it count 28 days as a month or vary it based on the number of days in each calendar month, or average the days in a month across the year (e.g. 30 days).
Thanks

Interesting question. I've tried location info on that, but could not quickly. I do believe that if you select 14 months, it will obey the days in the month. Let's see what others find.

I too believe it goes by calendar month. A lot of customers I have worked with use number of days. For example, instead of a 18 month retention they standardize on 540 days. That way it is more predictable for them and it removes the ambiguity.

Thanks Chris, sorry for the late reply I did check back in on this post very soon after posting and didn't see a reply so ploughed on.
My policy is yet to be used in anger. I went for 15 months in the end.
