Barbara AFAIK, there are some of these sort of checks that are done once per hour, and this is relative to the last start time of the server. There is nothing you can do to speed it up short of a server restart. I don't know where I heard this, its just in the back of my conciousness somewhere.

Thanks, but I already know how to change the reusedelay value, and I don't want to set the value to 0. I'm wondering if there is another setting that tells TSM how often to check and see what the reusedelay value is set to.

I'm guessing this is because there is some interval set at which TSM checks on the resusedelay value. Does anybody know how/if this value can be changed so that I can make the interval shorter?
