You only had a 30 day retention policy... If the data was deleted you could only go back 30 days.
This doesn't seem to difficult an issue. For that much data and that many nodes just run an archive on each system. If they "must" have the data that is already saved... I'd say best bet is backups sets. I don't think backupsets can be created for SQL TDP clients though. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Bill Boyer Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 3:26 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Need some how-to assistance please Current primary storagepool occupancy is 8.9TB. 32 nodes in the domain with 8 of them being TDP SQL agent nodenames. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Ochs, Duane Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 3:32 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Need some how-to assistance please How much data are you talking about ? -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Bill Boyer Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 2:29 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Need some how-to assistance please History.have a client backing up with a 30-day retention policy (vere=nolimit rete=30) and last week they came as requested that the retention be change to No Limit across the board. Keep everything. Lawyers involved. Now they feel that the resource requirements for doing that for an indefinite period are more than they want to take on. So they asked that the retention be set back to 30-days , but..and here's the fun part.they want to tapes with the oldest backup data to be kept. You can see they have to concept of TSM and are thinking of keeping the oldest full backup tapes around so they could be re-cataloged if a restore is needed. So my problem/question is how do I accomplish the same thing? Was thinking EXPORT NODES, but what date range to use. Backupsets (no, I'm not 6.1! J) isn't what I want either. Any suggestions?
