Hello,

using SQL BackTrack, all retention management is done by SQL-BT acording to
definitions in the so called Oracatalog. Every backup object is unique,
because the name includes a timestamp. Versioning from TSM sight cannot be
established.

In the inst. guide of SQLBT-interface mode to TSM, called obsi.adsm, you find
the nessessary defs for the backup or archive copy groups.
