By setting the Retain Extra Versions to 0, you are telling TSM to keep any versions marked INACTIVE, which would be the 13 versions other than the last one you backed up, 0 days. You need to set it to at least 14 days to keep all 14 versions, maybe even set it for longer, in case you have a day or two that the back ups don't run. You may want to review the other 2 settings also. If something was to get deleted off of the client in mistake, and a backup was run before the error was caught. You would lose all of your backups.

I have been running the 1.1 tdp in a separate file space to maintain my requirements but this is getting old fast. Help Thanks Noah Murphy MCSE 1301 SE 5TH AVE.
