It handles expiration like Oracle RMAN (in general). The expiration
is done by the client, not the normal "versioning" of TSM. The
SQL-BT setup and config should have info on setting up Management
Class on TSM for this. I have SQL-BT version 4.2 on AIX Sybase Client.
The config on SQL-BT allows you to specify how many versions you
want to keep, and SQL-BT "expires" old version each day when it does
a backup.
Whether the data went to TSM disk pool first and then to tape
or directly to tape has no bearing at all on the expiration.

Hello all,
How does TSM handle the expiration of SQL Backtrack filespaces if the data was
originally written directly to tape, thus never existing on hard disk? We have
a situation where these filespaces are not expiring and are not even being
marked as inactive yet they are in a MC that is set to retain only ten versions.
TSM Server: 5.1.5.5
OS Version: AIX 5.1
SQL BT Version: 3.4.10
TIA,
Rob
