I have a node running version 4.2.1.21 on Solaris 7.  I had a disk slice on 
that box that was called /Backup_Storage about 1 year ago our UNIX 
administrator created a new disk slice called /Backup_Storage2 and then he 
deleted the other disk slice.  When I run the Backup/Archive client and click 
on Restore I still see the directory /Backup_Storage and the last backup of the 
files under that directory which were backed up on 11/29/00.

I understand that I can just delete the filespace from the TSM server and it 
will go away but I was wondering why the files and directory are still there.  
And if this is happening then maybe other files that have been removed from the 
client haven't been deleted from the TSM server.


Here is a copy of our copy group:

Policy      Policy        Mgmt         Copy                Versions  Versions

--------       --------       --------        -------
SUN       ACTIVE      SUN         STANDARD     5              5            SUN  
     ACTIVE      SUN         STANDARD     5              5             30       
    60

If I understand this correctly it should only keep the deleted file for 60 days.
