I think I had that problem too. I am not remember exactly what I have done there, but as far as I remember the policy was removed exidently and files never expired. So I recreated policy with the same name and let those files expire.
Sorry I can not give more clear answer, but nobody else responding to you either. Hope it gives you some direction. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Van De Vijver Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 11:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Old backups do not expire ??? Hi, Can anyone help me with next problem. By coincidence I saw we have a lot of old file backups hanging around which should have been expired a long time ago For example we still have inactive file backups from October 2002 and the corresponding Mgmt class is defined as follows : Versions data exists = 5 Versions data deleted = 3 Retain extra versions = 90 Retain only version = 360 The original files were deleted on disk somewhere end of 2002. I would expect that those backups should have been deleted after 360 days .... end 2003 ???? The client (Windows NT) is still at level 4.2.1.30 TSM Server (running on Z/OS) is at level 5.1.80 We are running expiration process on a daily base TIA Paul Van de Vijver Paul Honda Europe NV Belgium The information contained in this communication is confidential and may be legally privileged.
