Hi *SM-ers!
We are looking at TDP for Exchange for backing up our Exchange servers.
The backups should be kept for 3 weeks. I'm looking for a correct TSM policy
definition. The easiest way to do this is defining a backup copygroup with
retonly=21 and retextra=21. However, I think this is not save. A full backup
on day 1 will be deleted on day 22, so all incrementals after this full (day
2,3,4,5,6 and 7) are then also useless! So one cannot go back 3 weeks in
this case.
What is the best way to guarantee a 3 week retention?
Another small issue I detected: The TDP for Exchange manual states:
After the storage group and logs are successfully backed up, the log files
are deleted.
In our case there are always 4 log files left behind after a full backup. Is
that normal behavior?
Thanks in advance for any reply!!
Kindest regards,
Eric van Loon
