I am setting VERE=1, VERD=0, RETE=0 and RETO=0 in TDP for Oracle copy groups.

Each file coming from TDP is unique and it is enough.

Data expiration for TDP files is controlled by RMAN command:

CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 31 DAYS;

Of course, you can use any value instead of 31.

Subject: [ADSM-L] VEREXIST for image backups and TDP backups



Hi,

When we backup files to TSM, number of versions makes sense in paramteres

like VEREXISTS, VERDELETE and so forth. How does the versioning concept

apply for filesystem backups and backups coming from TDP?

Databases have their own full and incremental backups, so how to combine

these concepts with TSM versioning?



Thank you,

Mehdi
