TSM can't change filespaces on the fly to unicode so it renames the non-unicode filespaces to ..._old, creates new unicode filespaces and does a "full" backup for this filespaces. When your retention period has expired you can delete this filespaces. HTH Thomas Rupp -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Zoltan Forray/AC/VCU [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 16. Jänner 2003 16:51 An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: Strange _OLD FileSystems These filespace names recently appeared for a server that was upgraded/replaces (retained the old TSM name). What are these _OLD filespaces ? They don't seem to physically exists !
