Good Morning.
I have a question about expiration.
I have a 90 day policy for data on the servers(Versions Data Exists - Nolimit, 
Version Data Deleted - Nolimit, retain Extra Versions 90 and Retain Only 
Version 90).  My question is how can I tell if data is being expired and how 
many files on a particular machine?  What I checked is a machine that is 
backing up everynight with about 2000 files(SYSETM OBJECT) but the file count 
keeps growing.  It's been 95 days since the 1st backup so I would have thought 
the file count would be leveling off.  I see when expiration runs that the 
server is listed for each of it's filespaces but I have no idea how many files 
if any it expired.
The TSM servers is AIX 5.2 with TSM 5.2.2 and the client is Win2K with TSM 5.2.2
I want to make sure that the old files are expiring so we do not keep growing 
in size.  It's one of many machines so the final count for how many files 
expired in expiration does not tell me which machine it came from.

Have a Great Day,
Eric
