Hi, I have the following situation and I need a confirmation here. System information is : TSM 5.2. on Windows 2000, TSM BA client 5.2. on Windows 2000.
I'm backing up a folder with the "incremental" option, that contains a complex subfolder tree. The contents of the subfolders are mainly transaction files from various applications. The user wants to keep the transaction files for 6 months on disk and then deletes the older ones (the 6th month) to make space for the new month. This is a user task and here I don't have any involvement. The user doesn't want to lose the deleted transaction files, because he might want to restore something for investigation reasons. I have set up a special policy for this. The backup copygroup definition is as follows: Policy Domain Name TSM_DOMAIN Policy Set Name ACTIVE Mgmt Class Name TSM_MGMT_CLASS Copy Group Name STANDARD Versions Data Exists 2 Versions Data Deleted 2 Retain Extra Versions NOLIMIT Retain Only Version NOLIMIT Copy Mode MODIFIED Copy Serialization SHRSTATIC Copy Frequency 0 Copy Destination 3590STGPOOL Table of Contents (TOC) Destination - Last Update Date/Time 2004-03-12 12:37:03.000000 Last Update by (administrator) YIANNAKIS Managing profile - I have specified NOLIMIT on retain extra versions and retain only version so that I don't lose the deleted files. Is that correct ? Thanks Yiannakis
