The entry is deleted from the TSM database, effectively removing it from the off-site volume.
This is yet another reason why you need to send copies of the TSM database offsite as well -- because the file *will* still exist on the off-site database backup as well as being physicall present on the offsite volume. Tom Kauffman NIBCO, Inc -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Godfrey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 05, 2003 5:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Offsite volumes What happens to data on offsite volumes when the time has come to expire the data from TSM? Does TSM delete the entry from the database even though the offsite volume is unavailable, thus rendering the file on the offsite volume as unrecoverable even though the file still exists on the offsite volume? Or must one make the offsite volume available to TSM before the TSM db entry can be removed? Kind regards Kevin Godfrey (IT Support) Caths Co.
