Del,
thank you for your explanation. I was unsure about this an need to
calculate required space in storage pool for Domino backup.

Re: TDP for Domino - expiration






Jozef,

This is normal TSM policy management.
If you have VEREXISTS set to 2,
when you take the 3rd full backup, the oldest
inactive copy will be deleted when the
next expiration process is run.

Thanks,

Del
