Hi Reggie! This is because you don't want TSM to expire Oracle backup objects. Oracle does not rely on TSM for backup cataloging. It uses it's own: the Oracle Recovery Catalog. When you initiate a restore on a Oracle client, it connects to the Oracle Recovery Catalog and it uses information in that catalog to retrieve the backup sets and backup pieces names. With that information the client connects to TSM to retrieve those sets and pieces. Every now and then you schedule a cleanup script on the client which removes obsolete sets and pieces. This removes the references from the Oracle recovery catalog and deletes the actual data from TSM. Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
