Good afternoon,

TSM 4.2.1.9 server running on OS/390 2.10 TSM Client is 4.2.2.0 on AIX 4.3.

We were attempting to restore a file today and issued the command to create
a pick list. I thought it odd that the pick list showed 3 inactive versions
of the file only. I thought this odd so I decided to code a select against
my backups and again I found on 3 inactive versions of the file. How can I
have 3 inactive versions but no active versions of this file. Here are the
policy options that are applied to the file:

Policy Domain Name       STANDARD
Policy Set Name          ACTIVE
Mgmt Class Name          STANDARD
Copy Group Name          STANDARD
Versions Data Exists          5
Versions Data Deleted         5
Retain Extra Versions         30
Retain Only Version      60
Copy Mode           MODIFIED
Copy Serialization       SHRSTATIC
Copy Frequency      0
Copy Destination         STD_BACKUP_PRIMARY
