Or just delete that filespace with DELETE FILESPACE. If everything in that filespace is gone from disk and you don't need it any longer. I do this occasionally with temporary filesystems we setup and then don't need anymore. It just takes a few seconds to a few minutes depending on how much data/files were there.

Otherwise it keeps the active copy forever... -----Original Message----- From: Julian Armendariz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 5:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: File Expiration Problems I have a node running version 4.2.1.21 on Solaris 7. I had a disk slice on that box that was called /Backup_Storage about 1 year ago our UNIX administrator created a new disk slice called /Backup_Storage2 and then he deleted the other disk slice. When I run the Backup/Archive client and click on Restore I still see the directory /Backup_Storage and the last backup of the files under that directory which were backed up on 11/29/00. I understand that I can just delete the filespace from the TSM server and it will go away but I was wondering why the files and directory are still there. And if this is happening then maybe other files that have been removed from the client haven't been deleted from the TSM server. Here is a copy of our copy group: Policy Policy Mgmt Copy Versions Versions Retain Retain Domain Set Name Class Group Data Data Extra Only Name Name Name Exists Deleted Versions Version --------- --------- --------- --------- -------- -------- -------- ------- SUN ACTIVE SUN STANDARD 5 5 30 60 If I understand this correctly it should only keep the deleted file for 60 days.
