okay another two cents.  I suggest setting up a management class that
     retains 30-120 days and doing an archive once a month.  Than way you
     have a older copy to go back to.

I held back until now.
You need to realize that just because you keep 14 versions of a file means you h
ave it forever.
You need to setup and use several mgmt classes and archive data to ensure that y
ou "ALWAYS" have
a copy.

Folks,

I'm an ADSM newbie too and I think here is something that I don't
understand:

If ADSM holds 14 versions of a file, how is it possible that
ADSM deletes that file? I've thought ADSM is a backup product
not a file delete tool :-)

I think, this is important for my planning and I'd appreciate
any input.

TIA

        Hello all!

        My name is Mark, and I am a virtual ADSM virgin. I've run into a
problem that maybe you all can help with. I'm running ADSM version 3.1.2.1
with AIX version 4.3.2 on an IBM R/S 6000. I keep 14 versions of the files
that I backup. The problem is that I need to restore a version of the file
that ADSM has already deleted. How do I go about it???

Thanks to all in advance.
