By setting the Retain Extra Versions to 0, you are telling TSM to keep any 
versions marked INACTIVE, which would be the 13 versions other than the last 
one you backed up, 0 days.  You need to set it to at least 14 days to keep all 
14 versions, maybe even set it for longer, in case you have a day or two that 
the back ups don't run.  You may want to review the other 2 settings also.  If 
something was to  get deleted off of the client in mistake, and a backup was 
run before the error was caught. You would lose all of your backups.

As best as I can tell this should give me 14 versions of the backups but is
only retaining two. I have been running the 1.1 tdp in a separate file space
to maintain my requirements but this is getting old fast.
Help
Thanks
