I am surprised I don't see any posts around this. I've installed and configured TDP for Oracle with MySQL Enterprise Backup (MEB) and successfully did a couple of backups. What I cannot find anywhere though is how to expire the backups! If all backups use the same name, then they'd become inactive and would expire off, but then how would you use MEB to restore a previous version of a backup? If you give them unique time-stamped names, then you can specify the file/timestamp to restore, but they would always remain active.
Ha! I thought. Use "dsmc delete file xx -optfile=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/dsm.opt". BUT, if I use this format to "query backup", I cannot find any backups
So, has anyone set this up? If not, does anyone know how I can use the dsmc command to look at "Oracle" backups?
