Well, not to quibble, Bill, but you can use exclude.dir to avoid
getting the C: directories, right?
And the problem of users / admins adding a drive in the future, and
TSM then SILENTLY skipping it due to DOMAIN D:, is real.

We agree,
I was just trying to make a distinction between TSM's two usages for the
term "expire".
First when objects become inactive, which the client refers to as
expiring:
07/13/2009 22:16:38 Expiring--> 310
\\rrmamprobe1\d$\Mercury\MAM-V6.6\MAMDiscoveryProbe\root\lib\longpathnam
I think the confusion comes from the fact that the client log says
"Expiring-->" when it is only "In-activating" the file

Please respond to
When a new version is saved, the older version become INACTIVE, then per
policy (which can vary from company to company), it will expire. In our
case this occurs when the 5th version of a object is saved. The older
version is then expired and the space on tapes becomes reclaimable.

You are correct, but in order for space to become reclaimable, it has to

I prefer to exclude it from the DOMAIN. That way you won't get the
directories on the C: drive. This is from the help.
For example, in the following options Tivoli Storage Manager will
process all local drives except for the c: drive, systemobject,
and systemstate domain:
I am not sure that is quite right.
When a newer version of an object is backed up, the Client does "EXPIRE"
the object, but the object only "EXPIRES" from the TSM SERVER db
according to the retention policy (copy_group) bound to that object.
The data does not expire from the tape until it expires f
RECLAIM STGPOOL LTOPOOL1 THRESHOLD=60
This will reclaim all tapes that have 60% or more reclaimable space.
Reclaimable space occurs when you existing objects that were backed up are
saved again. The preivous backup of that object is expired and that part
of the tape is reclaimable. Tapes are rec

As many have already noted, the reclamation will take care of your issue
and is probably the fastest way; you can also make use of "move data"
with reconstruct=yes on a volume basis.

Run reclamation.
They're FULL because TSM wrote all the way to the end;
they're less than 100% because TSM expired some data, so there are
effectively holes in the tape.

Hi list,
I have several tapes on an IBM ULT-3580 library that show very low percent
utilization (see output below) but a FULL status.
Tapes are sequential media.
When they reach the end, they are defined as "Full".
As data expires, their percent utilization changes, but they stay
defined as Full, because no data is going to be written to the spaces
occupied by the logically expired data:
Volume Name Storage
Well, there's a problem there:
Our ART product has found several customers that shot themselves in
the foot by doing this:
DOMAIN D:
because they don't want to back up C:, a stock image of windows-and-
office.
That works fine. But months later, the user adds drive E:, and TSM
silently skips it.

Hi Remco,
estimate: it'll be hard to backup more than 500 GB of data of a 500 GB
disk.
well, recently this client ran a backup of about 3 TB, causing the
server to run low on tapes.
On macos, if you are really worried, you could run a "find -ctime"
(lookup the manpage) to find the change
virtualmountpoint works great on my linux client but it don't work on
Windows.

Another way to do is by the schedule add under option C:\test\*.* -subdir=yes
In that case will your schedule only run "dsmc i C: \test\*.* -subdir=yes"

On the client, start DSMC and run q inclexcl to see more info what's wrong.
Also remember that TSM is reading your DSM.OPT file from the bottom and up.
