How long ago did you rename the file space? The inactive versions will be expired 35 days from the date they went inactive. Renaming the file space doesn't change that. The only difference is that the *active* versions will hang around forever until you delete the file space from the TSM server.

The retention was changed retain 5 version for 35 days, and the renamed space hasn't had a backup written to it since it was created. The renamed file space is about the same size as the original space, so I would expect to see both the active and inactive files. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stapleton, Mark Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2004 12:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Renaming file spaces From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bradberry, Kenneth >We renamed a file space to it will not be overwritten by the normally >scheduled backups.

If you use the TSM web client interface (or the regular backup/restore GUI with the -virtualnodename flag), all filespaces avilable for a given node are listed, and turning on the "view active and inactive files" should allow you to see anything that available for restoration. -- Mark Stapleton
