Hi All I posted a question yesterday about point in time restore but i wish to clarify my question. Basically i need to know why if a file was backed up on the 10 October 2000 and subsequently deleted, and i do a point in time restore to February 23 2001.. why is it trying to restore the deleted file. PIT restore is done via the GUI. Even if i am doing full backups..surely if the file odes not exist..(has been deleted) then PIT restore should not try and restore it . I run a Expire inventory every day. rete=30 reto=10 TSM ver 3.7 for NT server TSM ver 3.7 for NT client 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.
