> Yes, but what's the point of using an RRD based grapher if you aren't going to take advantage of RRD?  You have to work around RRD just to keep the data in a form that you can use for legal purposes.  This was the primary design consideration of RTG, anyways.  

It isn't a "work-around", it is just a configuration option.  When you
create an RRD file, you tell rrdtool how many of each data point to
keep.  If you tell it to keep 576 5 minute interval data points, you get
2 days.  If you tell it 17280, you get 60 days.  You still get all the
advantages of RRD (round-robin databases, quick-and-easy graphs, etc.).
