My wife's business machine has years of TM backups on it, mostly financial records used for filing the various tax forms. That drive is also doubled up with another, so we have actually two backups. Once the time limits for audits have passed, we will erase those files, but until I know the IRS is content, they stay right there. So how long you keep a TM backup is really dependent on the use case you have.In general, though, I mostly agree with you. On my system, I only have about 6 months of history on TM. Usually when I "oops" a file, I know pretty quickly and retrieve the backup quickly.</blockquote>
