hi, just a few simple questions to confirm my understanding of the TSM retention. I have read a few on the retention but I need to make sure i understand it correctly.
refering to this image, the backup retention is set to 30 days.
Q1.Does that mean the file i backup today will be the ACTIVE copy for 30 days and change into INACTIVE 30 days later? Assuming this is the last backup i have done.
This is the management class the domain is on.
Q2. If the same files is being backup everyday (i am using the selective option) , there will be 2 versions of the same file that will be mark as ACTIVE? all other other copy that is more than 2 backups old will change into inactive.
Q3. After the file become INACTIVE, TSM will still keep the files for another 30 days before it is gone because of expiration?
Q4. If the file is deleted from the client server, TSM will keep 1 version of the deleted files for 60 days?
I hope my questions is clear enough to be understood. Thanks.
