BackupMyBusiness sent me this email after my previous post on their wonderful product.
If a file is in the backup selection and deleted from the computer it is retained for 90 days on the data center. This is to prevent accidental deletions.
If a file is still on the computer and the user decides he no longer wants to back it up and removes it from the backup selection the file is retained for 7 days.
In addition the 10 most recent versions (at a minimum) of every file are retained in the last 90 days. So if you have a file changing on a monthly basis you would have 3 or 4 versions of the file available to retrieve. If you were changing a file daily you would have at a minimum the last 10 days available. This can be very useful when you accidentally save a file with the same name (meant to do a Save As instead of a Save) and later need to get the old version back. Another scenario would be a file that becomes corrupted and you need find a good working version.
In the example you gave the file would be retained for 90 days rather than 7.
