My MS-SQL guy asked me to pass these questions/issues along: I have another gripe about TDP, if you could submit this as well. A while back (not sure what version it started with), on some of the servers the database list isn't sorted alphabetically. So I have to search through the list when I need to do a single backup manually. There doesn't appear to be a way to re-sort it either (click the column headings does nothing)
............. Just thought of another issue if you wanted to pass it along. The reason I have to split the fulls and diffs on different nodes from the log backups is because the log backups don't seem to go away after they're 30 days old (the fulls and diffs do like they're supposed to). So if I need to pull up an old backup from 3 weeks ago and I choose "Show Active and Inactive" backups, the logs take forever to come up because there are so many it has to go and find. I could be doing something wrong, but the dsm.opt files are basically the same for all 3 types of backups (just pointing to the different nodes), and only the log backups aren't going away.
