Due to a legal investigation, I have been asked to 'freeze' the backups
on one of my client machines.  We removed the client from the schedule
and changed the NODENAME parm in the dsm.opt file to specify a new
name.

My question regards expiration processing for the 'frozen' node.  My
understanding is that, as long as the client doesn't connect to the TSM
server, no expiration will take place.  Is this indeed the case or is
there still some expiration of files on this system that will take
place during expire inventory processing?  Will a subsequent backup be
the only way to trigger expiration?

Thanks
