Hi:
We've just discovered q peculiar problem with expiration involing the
SQL-BACKTRACK product and SYBASE and ORACLE databases. They do not
appear to be expiring.

The managment class rules are:

DOMAIN_NAME     CLASS_NAME      VEREXISTS       VERDELETED      RETEXTRA        
RETONLY DESTINATION
SPAIX   DBBKUP1 60      0       30      0       AIXDISKBACK

And a "query backup /BACKTRACK:obackups.physical/*/* -inactive" returns
a HUGE list of files that are inactive.
They should all have been deleted with the RETONLY set to 0.

Am I missing something?

A DB called SQL-BACKTRACK support and the responce was SQL-BACKTRACK
marked them inactive; at that point TSM
is not correctly removing them per the definitions.

Flat files in other management groups are behaving correctly.....

Mario,
   We've been using St. Bernard OFM 9 in conjuction with TSM 5.2.2
(client vers. of course) to backup both our GroupWise 6, and now
GroupWise 6.5 servers in the last year without problems. We've also done
successful restores of the GroupWise servers.
