I'm trying to understand why there are so many tapes required for restore and 
have started to look at one aspect of our management classes.

this is the setup in question:

Backup Versions
__________________
Days between backups    = 0


_______________________


How many different versions of the file should be kept?

No limit
_________________

Number of days to keep inactive versions

No limit
_________________________


For backup files that a user has deleted from the client node:

Number of file versions to keep

This number of versions : 0
_____________________________

Amount of time to keep the last file version

This number of days: 0

________________________

under this configuration is it really keeping all files forever?  I'm so lost 
on this its not funny and the conversion from NBU to TSM seems like going from 
a working system to a broken system even though i know its just bad 
configuration that is the cause its becoming hard for me not to throw the baby 
out with this bathwater and start fresh with a simple NBU system (simple 
because i know it backward and forward not because its better per se.. i really 
am trying hard to make this TSM configuration work)

Thanks for any help you can give.
