Hi Eric
DP for ERP(SAP) backups uses the archive copygroup, but it uses it's own
versioning. That's why they tell you to configure it to NOLIMIT or 9999.
If retver=0 is set then your backups will be deleted by TSM and not ERP/backint.
As to why the other servers are retaining the backups you would have to check
the management class, assigned to that backup, in the SAP config file
(initSID.utl) and look up the archive copygroup setting on TSM.

Hi guys!
What happens when you archive to a mgmtclass with an achive copygroup
with retver=0?
I have one server which is used for backing up SAP databases and I
noticed that the copygroup uses retver=0, while this should be NOLIMIT
to my knowledge. Users are complaining that backups are disappearing on
this server. Backint logging shows no delete commands so the data is not
deleted on the client side. However, the retver is set to 0 on other
TSM servers too and on these server data is kept correctly...
Thanks for any help in advance!
Kind regards,
Eric van Loon
