Why is TSM only keeping 2 days worth?!

[OverSeer]

I have my policies set at 30/365 for my backups for Exchange but when I go into the restore tab, all I can see are the previous 2 days worth (by selecting show inactives). Any ideas on why this may be?

Can you elaborate better by posting your exact policy?

please post your copygroup (backup and archive)


thanks

 

[OverSeer]

That was it. It was my copygroup settings. Thanks!!

 

[jbautista]

it can't be, the one your showing is policy setting. copygroup is where your backup will reside and will tell you how many versions you are retaining. try "q co" command.

Please do a q co f=d & q co t=a f=d for your copygroup retention
