Andy,
Thanks for the reference. I was wondering if you could clarify your point about the paramaters for verexists and verdeleted. You stated:

Is the 3D still accepted syntax (this was 2001 after all) and how is that interpreted?
as always, thanks for your attention!

What does
dsmc query backup c:\yourfoldername -subdir=yes -inactive
show you? (Substitute the folder name in question where I have "c:\yourfoldername".)

For a couple of old posts from me that discuss this subject.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked. The command line is your friend. "Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.

Does TSM handle folder versioning the same as files? That is, if a user clicks on a folder to get to a file in it is the folder updated such that a new version is backed up?
I'm looking for a reason a GUI PIT restore wouldn't display a folder and it's contents that were obviously there. I'm using DIRMC and have extra versions and ver del set to one plus the values in the files MC, but if a folder gets backed up everytime it's touched then there probably aren't enough versions data exists.
thanks, Jim
