Hello All
Please could a kind person take a look at this copy cgoup config and my understanding of what it's doing? After re-reading what the parameters do, I think I may have it not quite right for what i'm after.
Here it is:
Policy Domain Name FLASH_DOMAIN
Policy Set Name FLASH_SET
Mgmt Class Name FLASH_MC
Copy Group Name STANDARD
Versions Data Exists 3
Versions Data Deleted 3
Retain Extra Versions NOLIMIT
Retain Only Version 90
Copy Mode MODIFIED
Copy Serialization SHRDYNAMIC
Copy Frequency 0
Copy Destination FLASH_TAPEPOOL
Last Update Date/Time 2001-09-05 10:20:16.000000

Given this copy group, would the following scenario be true?
1. A file is backed up with 3 versions during normal scheduled backups.
2. The file on the client is then deleted.
3. Upon next backup, TSM notices the file is now deleted but still keeps the 3 last versions.
4. After 90 days the LATEST inactive file is expired.
5. The 2 OLDEST versions of the file are kept forever.
The last point is the one I really want clarified. We were under the impression the after 90 days all of the inactive files would be expired, but after further reading of the definition of the options I'm not so sure.
Thanks very much for your help
Regards
Steven
