Hi All I have the following problem.For one of our Windows NT systems we run a full backup of the D partition every day. e do this so that the batch of tapes used can be sent to another city where a develpment environment can be refreshed. Now what is happening is that some files that were backed up in september or october last year are still appearing as active within the TSM database, even though these files have been deleted. So when trying to run a point in time restore to the previous day, it is looking for older tapes where these older deleted files are stored.These tapes ahve already been sent back. Even after the retain only parameter expires these files are still seen as been active on the system. Even if i change the retaino=20 days and retaine=10 days .. four months down the line these files are still active and are not expiring. Either the deleted files are not been marked as such (inactivated) or there is a bug somewhere...... Environment: TSM Server ver 3.7.1 on Windows NT service pack 6 TSM client for Windows NT ver 3.7.3 vere= 14 verd= 2 retaine= 30 retaino= 10 Thanks Marc _________________________________________________ Marc Layne Product Manager - Services, Storage and Software Solutions Faritec Mobile: +27 82 4169086 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Office: + 27 21 7629702 http://www.faritec.co.za/ <http://www.faritec.co.za/> _________________________________________________ "This message may contain information which is confidential, private or privileged in nature.
