Hi, Ken. Actually, Ken, the expiration I'm talking about is when something is deleted off of the client server, not the server side "expire inventory" process, so it really shouldn't be affected by versions/retentions in your copygroups. During a full incremental, TSM will "expire" a deleted file

Andy, Now I am confused because an incremental by date just looks at the date of the last full incremental compared to the date of the copied file. The copied file retains the original date and if the date is older than the date of the last fill incremental it will not be backed up (even if it i

How about this. Check the session end summaries for each node, the one that says, "Number of objects expired." (ANE4970I) If it's not zero, then you know it's a full incremental that is expiring objects. If it is zero, well, that doesn't tell you too much, but you can watch it for a while. The

The results of your SELECT statement look valid to me. You can check the results by running: select * from volumeusage where node_name='' And do a manual review of the data. I would expect to see that the node has 12 file spaces each on volumes 020259 and 030298, and 4 file spaces each on

Hi Ken, There is no way (at least none that comes to mind at this time) from an administrative standpoint to determine this. Partial incremental is also known as "incremental by date". To use this kind of incremental backup, the -incrbydate option would have to be passed to the client. For examp

What exactly do you mean 'partial' backup? Do you mean the standard TSM incremental backup? If so that would be in the copygroup mode parameter. But of course from the GUI or the CLI, your users can still request a full backup without changing this parameter on the server. -- Joshua S. Bassi
