It's stored in memory and periodically written out the the retention  
file and status file based on your schedule or on shutdown. I haven't  
tried it but I'd suggest shutting down nagios on the master to ensure  
that the retention file is up-to-date, shut down the backup, rsync and  
restart both. The retention file is the one you want as the status  
file is recreated on startup based on config+retention.dat.
