Everyone,

We have seen this in many instances now.

Our retention periods are 90 days for both incrementals and full backups.
After doing a full, let's say yesterday, if I try to restore a file the
volumes required
include the tape from yesterday and the tape from 90 days earlier.

Why is that earlier tape required? Is there a way to get the restore to only
use the
most recent backup tape? Setting the browse time to yesterday makes no
difference.

We are running 6.3.1 on an HP box.

Bob
