Norman,
If this happened by the Storage Group getting renamed, try this
Data Protection for Exchange command:
C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\TDPExchange>tdpexcc help inactivate
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail:
Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange Server
Version 5, Release 2, Level 1.0
(C) Copyright IBM Corporation 1998, 2003. All rights reserved.
TDPEXCC INACTivate *|DIR|IS|sgname1,..,sgnameN backuptype
where backuptype can be:
FULL|COPY|INCRemental|DIFFerential|DBCopy dbname
[/CONFIGfile=tdpexc.cfg|filename] (default: tdpexc.cfg)
[/FROMEXCSERVer=servername] (default: local exchange server)
[/LOGFile=tdpexc.log|logfilename] (default: tdpexc.log)
[/LOGPrune=60|n|No] (default: 60)
[/OBJect=object] (default: current active object)
[/Quiet]
[/TSMNODe=nodename]
[/TSMOPTFile=dsm.opt|filename] (default: dsm.opt)
[/TSMPassword=password]
But, if you renamed the objects manually, how did you do it?
If you did it this way, it breaks the logical consistency
of the backup and Data Protection for Exchange will not work on
"corrupted" backups. If you did this, you may need to do something
like use the Sample API program to delete them.
Thanks,
Del
