[p4] How long to keep journal and checkpoints

[Stephen Vance]

Depends on how often you're taking them and how much recovery you 
need.  For installations with lots of activity or little room for error, I 
typically checkpoint once or twice a day and do full daily backups of the 
depot tree, checkpoints and journals on both daily and weekly 
rotations.  In this scheme I usually let the checkpoints and journals age 
for a week and make sure that they never get deleted until after the 
corresponding backups.  In fact, I sometimes set up the cleaner script as a 
post-operation for the backup and the checkpoint as a pre-operation.
