Anyone out there with a definite take on what happens to file backups when you change the dsm.opt so that files previously included are excluded in the dsm.opt. I did not think they were inactive files as such, since they might still exist on the client, but I did think that all backups for exluded files would be deleted next time expire inventory runs. After all you are telling TSM, " I do not want to backup these files" John Rainer Wolf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 04/04/2001 03:40:02 PM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: (bcc: John Naylor/HAV/SSE) Subject: Re: Backup Policies - Kind of FAQs ********************************************************************** The information in this E-Mail is confidential and may be legally privileged.

A file backed up and not changed is called an ACTIVE version and >remain there in the backup system FOREVER. ... would keep in mind that a file could also change from ACTIVE to INACTIVE without removing or changing the file but with a change of an Incl/exclude-statement which might be initiated by the User/Admin of the ClientSystem. So presumed that there is also no change of include/exclude-statements that has an affect on the file ... ... it remains in the backup system FOREVER ... I think an active file just remains FOREVER in the BackupSystem as long as you don't run any more incremental backup , ie. because of desaster happened to the ClientMachine. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards Rainer Wolf __________________________________________________________ Rainer Wolf [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: 0731-50-22482 Fax: 0731-50-22471 University of Ulm http://www.uni-ulm.de/urz University Computing Center Albert-Einstein-Allee 11 AG Basissysteme 89069 Ulm
