I have a SQL user who creates a nightly backup with an older version of
litespeed. They only want to retain 60 days. The problem is each
nightly backup has a unique date/time stamp. Therefore TSM sees every
file as an active version. Since each version is active I am just
keeping everything. The files don't get deleted nor are they triggered
to be inactive so I can't use the retain only or verdelete. How do I
convince TSM, using the backup copygroup (not archive) to just keep a
file 60 days?
A newer version of litespeed allows SQL to use the archive copygroup.
However if I can make this work with the backup copygroup this will
defer testing and implementing.
We are on TSM 5.3.3 windows server.
