Hi TSMers,

It's our understanding that industry standard TSM backup versioning policies (if
there is such a thing) are the following:

TSM Policy Setting              Industry Standard
Versions Data Exist             7 / 14**
Versions Data Deleted           7/ 14**
Retain Extra Version            30
Retain Only Version             30

*7 versions of file system type files, and 14 versions of database type files.

Please feedback if this is accurate- all comments and alternate examples are
welcome.

Many Thanks,

John
