I am having problems using the TSM client.

Here is the proceedure I used:

Backup c:\junk (contains 1 file)
Delete files in dir c:\junk on client.
Run backup again (Client reports files marked for deletion.  Policy is hold 2
deleted files for 100 days)
Try to restore files with the same TSM client.  No files exist via gui or
command line.  Show inactive is activated on the gui.

I am not trying to restore with any other client except the one used to perform
the original backups.
Using the same proceedure with the IBM client everything works fine.  This could
have really been bad if we were using this client the other week.

Maybe there is not enough coffee in my system yet, but Jack's problem doesn't
jibe with Bill's comment.

The readme for the 3.7.2 client says (and I don't remember what the warning was
for the downlevel TSM clients)

Warnings
--------
 - Data that has been backed up or archived from this V3.7 Tivoli Storage
 - Data that has been backed up or archived from this V3.7 Tivoli Storage
   Manager client (3.7.2 level) cannot be restored or retrieved to
   any previous level client, regardless of the server level.
   The data must be restored or retrieved by a 3.7.2 level or higher client.


But Jack is saying he CAN do the restore with the OLD client, but CAN'T with the
 new client.  Jack, is this correct?

Taking the warning as fact, does anyone know what happens to the older client
data?  Is it still kept, with all its managament class
attributes, and starts expiring? Or, does it cease to exist, replaced by the
data that has been backed up by the new client?

thanks,
lisa

Jack,

I seem to recall hearing/reading that if you use the TSM 3.7 Client for
backup that you can't go back and use a prior level to restore. I may have
misunderstood? Are you only using the TSM 3.7 Client?

Bill
