If you are able to do it I'd enjoy it while it lasts and not expect it to be available forever!

Hi Almar,
The 30 days lasts from the last time the file was edited. So your example wont work unless you put dates on it as per the help article you've quoted.
If you edit an old file WITHIN the 30 days of it last being edited that previous version is available. If its over 30 days (i.e. 31 days) it WILL NOT be available.

Thank-you for the answer.
But in fact when I edit a two years old file I can immediatly acces to the two years old version after that, I think for 30 days. It's great but it is not what I understood reading the FAQ.
Perhaps I understood in the wrong way because I'm not english speaker.
Thank's for your time.
Almar.

No unfortunatly I'm not a Pack-Rat user...
Thank-you for helping. In fact it could be logical because when you delete a file you can recover it during 30 days no matter if it is a 2 days or 2 years old file.
