... So there are 67000 objects expired (quite normal for the number of clients 20-25) and as I can see from the volumes, there is no reduction in 5 years backup volumes sizes, all full 100%. So the files have not expired, which is good. But what is the 350,000 number in client scheduler log ? And can it fill my server recovery log ? Because thats how I get to the issue, the server recovery log was filled up.
The Windows client manual says: "Expiring--> Indicates an object (file or directory) on the server that no longer exists on the client is expired and made inactive on the server." As you say, the client people removed all those files from the client file system (perhaps without very good reason). Have them perform 'dsmc Query Backup -INActive ...' to see what remains in TSM storage.
Yes, Expiration can fill your Recovery Log: the TSM server needs to be sized to accommodate all expected activities in order to maintain functionality.
