The only real problem is the old data is getting stuck on old BFS tape that is
not getting properly
"Space Relaimed" even though it is less than 50% full of valid live data.  My
space reclaim thresold is
set for 50%.  Any known problems with Space Reclamation?
Thanks,
Paul

Subject:  Re: Old Backup Data Staying Around



As long as the copy in ADSM agrees with the copy on disk, why bother
transferring it again?  The active version is retained for as long as
there is a copy on disk.  When the online copy is erased, then the
active version goes inactive, and the data retention clocks start.
