Tombstones are created whenever you delete an object from the directory. It is the tombstone that is replicated to other servers, effectively deleting the corresponding directory entry on the other server. The number that you enter here should be large enough to account for the time required to replicate the tombstone throughout the organization and the length of time required between server backups.
