Hi
Your retention settings doesn't look ok.
You have a value of 0 when deleted. This means, TSM wont save any versions
if the file is deleted from primary disk.
And, saving 30 copies of each files will take a lot of space in your
library.
I'd guess settings retention periods can be done in many different ways.
I'd suggest something like this:
Versions exist: 5-7
Versions deleted: Nolimit (or at least 3-5)
Retain Extra: 30
Retain only: 60-90 days.
Best Regards

I have been reading the threads on the TDP for Exchange and I have a
different question. Since Mark Remeta has stated a very good point, my
question references the same issue, "single instance storage".

Tony, if your exmerging your IS to pst files that 6.5gb db could balloon
due
to the fact you will be loosing single instance storage...
fyi.

How does an incremental backup for TDP for Exchange work? Since Tivoli does
not backup individual mailboxes as files but instead does a Directory and
Information Store backup, would a single message sent or received
constitute
an Information store change, therefore resulting in a complete backup
instead of the selected Incremental backup? Or, is the TDP designed to
recognize only the changes and only backup those parts of the Information
Store that have changed with the possibility of a restore only if you have
at least one good Full backup?
I am only asking because we currently have 3 Exchange 5.5 servers with 40GB
average databases doing nightly full backups. Will going to a 6 day
Incremental 1 Full be beneficial with our current retention settings (as
follows)?
Versions Data Exist 30
Versions Data Deleted 0
Retain Extra Versions 30
Retain Only Versions 30
Also, do these retention settings seem OK. I was not involved with Tivoli
when they were set and would value another opinion.
Thanks to all,
Mark Bertrand
