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  Retain     Retain

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.


Please help,
