[Robert Cowham]

Look at Richard Baum's presentation:

http://www.perforce.com/perforce/conf2005/index.html

Note that ICManage do something similar for their customised version of
Perforce.

> 
> 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,
