TSM server 6.3.0 on Windows TDP for SAP 6.3 with Oracle on Linux (BACKINT, without RMAN).
The TDP for SAP redbook SG24-7686 says: Backup retention control The backup retention policy can configured either on the Tivoli Storage Manager server side by the archive copy group parameter RETVER (the number of days the version is to be kept) or on the side of Tivoli Storage Manager for ERP by specifying the parameter MAX_VERSIONS in the configuration profile (init<SID>.utl). Does anybody have strong opinions or reasons to use one method over the other? (Doing it on the TSM server seems simpler to me, rather than visiting a dozen client machines to modify the .utl file.)
