[p4] Revision limiting

Hello,

We are experiencing an issue where we have large files (250mb) with 150
revisions. My concern is the amount of space this is taking up, and it
is starting to cause backup problems (time and space).

My question is in regards to the idea of limiting the amount of
revisions a certain file will retain.

If a 250mb file only needs a month of revisions at a time, we could save
many gigs of space. Perhaps store the old revisions on one tape and
leave it locked away.

Is there a good (and safe) practice for doing this that anyone could
suggest?

Thanks,
