Thanks for your reply Del. Well, I use the default policy actually, so
whatever that is. What I want is to have a rotating 4 week ,4 set of tapes,
config. Meaning that all data expires after 3 weeks. I'm not sure I have
that now. I do have the latest client and server versions though and see
what is the accurate view of THIS weeks tapes but do not see anything
available on the older tapes (2 weeks ago)

Patrick

In the GUI... Choose   "View" --> "show active/inactive backups".
Then re-expand the tree and see if they appear.

Are you running TDP for Domino 1.1.2? If not, go out to the
ftp.software.ibm.com FTP site to get it. There was an APAR
that made some backup objects not appear.

Did you make sure that your policies are such that it keeps
multiple versions of the files?  And that it "expires" extra
versions based on time, if that is how you want it managed?

Thanks,

Del
