We have an Exchange server running TDP v1.1.1. It's been backing up for a year or so and someone noticed it has somewhere around 2.9TB of data backed up. This shouldn't be because as far as we know it was set up to only store 30 days with one 10GB Full done per day, and 4 60MB incrementals done each day during the day. If you do the math that should be around 10GB * 30 days = 300GB for the fulls.. and less for the increments.. nowhere near 3TB..
In loading the GUI, the individual only sees 30 days of backups backed up. So by the GUI it appears as though it's working correctly. The two pieces don't mesh and my suspicion is that old backups aren't being expired but I'm not sure how to verify that. Could someone tell me what the best way would be to determine what is going on here? I suggested looking for the log files and looking in there. But in the meantime I also wanted to shoot off this email in hopes there was another way to look into this problem. Perhaps some command line commands I could try. I thought aobut doing a "q backup -subdir=yes "C:\*"" but wasn't sure if that would yield anything since exchange TDP backups probably don't go under C:\ Anyways any help greatly appreciated. Unfortunately I don't have any documents for v1.1 on me and tivoli's site lacks them too. Plus I'm trying to troubleshoot this problem 2nd hand instead of being on the box itself.
