Ingo,

Then I suggest that you use mminfo to list all the ssid's on that aftd and then you will know what got deleted tomorrow. Are you seeing any backup failures? NetWorker will also delete savesets that were aborted. Is it the same time every day?

Frank,
thank you for the info, I didn't find that in the docs.

Networker is telling me every night, there were savesets being deleted.
Disk backup is in place since less than 14 days, none of our retention
policies is that short. If the daily reclaiming of space deletes expired
save sets, I don't know which save sets these should be.
(And, of course, I cannot search the media db for the save sets networker
deleted...)

Still confused,
Ingo

Dear list,

I am getting messages in daemon.log saying that certain save sets were
deleted on our advanced file type devices.

The messages look like that:
42506 30.06.09 12:33:07  nsrd media info: Deleted 61 MB from save set
373244729 on volume dsk_tgl.001

I suppose this is initiated by the "recover space operation" and as far as I
understand, this is triggered by a staging policy.
As you say you are not missing any save sets and this doesn't correspond
with any staging
activity, the other option is the daily reclaiming of space that NetWorker
does.  Once every 24
hours it goes through and removes the savesets that have expired.  If those
savesets are on
aftd's, it removes them from the disk.  That may be what you are seeing here.
