Smart People,

This one is really getting me can anybody confirm this?  I am currently testing
the new BA client for NT version 3 release 7 1.0.1.  Running ADSM 3.1 level 2.50
on AIX 4.3.2.

Policy in ADSM is set to keep 2 deleted versions and 7 active.  Using the TSM BA
client I back up a dir and then restore it has no problems.  I back up the dir
again delete the files in the dir from the client run another incremental and
the report at the end of the backup says x files have been marked inactive.
This all looks good also.

At this point the file I am trying to restore only exists on the ADSM server.
When I bring up the TSM client to restore the file with gui or command line it
reports that no files exist!!   Also tried backing up a file renaming the file
backing it up again.  This should mark the file inactive and back up the new one
right.  The client reports that the file is marked inactive but when I try to
restore the file ADSM says nothing exists!! WTF!!

Yes the show inactive files switch is on.

Performing the same steps with the IBM ADSM client using the same policy has no
problems and works as expected.  All deleted versions show up.  Can somebody
explain or confirm.  This is a really scary situtation.

Please respond to my e-mail as well as the list.

Thanks

Jack
