Retention settings

What settings would I use to retain all files regardless if they were deleted or not for a 3 yr (for example) period?
occasionally I get a request to restore something that might have gone missing or moved a year or so in the past.

Use a custom retention policy
Check Delete Versions Older Than and set to 3 Years (Modification Date or Backup Date - you decide based on how you want to handle older files)
Check Always Keep the Last Version if you want to keep at least 1 version of every file beyond the 3 years - if not, leave unchecked
Uncheck Keep Number of Versions
Uncheck Delay Purge
Uncheck Delete Files that Have Been Deleted Locally
That should keep all versions of every file for 3 years
