Hi Robin,
Maybe I have to explain more detailed my problem. Initially I configured
copy group to retain 10 versions data exist with 1 versoins deleted.
The data is filelevel backup of Oracle DB. After a crash in the DB our DBA
decided to maintain 20 copies of these files instead of 10. Then I corrected
the values in the fields "Data versions exist" from 10 to 20 end "Versions
data deleted" from 1 to 2 and reactivated the policy. At this moment I had
10 backup versions on the TSM already. After a couple of days I detect
increasing of volume reclamation and when I checked active and inactive
versions for that TSM client there was only 5 versions. The others was
expired. The client makes backup every night and every file is changing
daily. I expected to found 13-14 versions.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks about wasted time
