Here is the lazy man's method.  Rename the current node in TSM to
something else.  Create a new node for TDP notes.  When you have enough
backups to cover your retention period under your new notes node, delete
the old notes file spaces and node.

Subject: REMOVAL OF TDP BACKUPS



Dear All, 

        I have an old 4.1 TSM Server that is backing up Notes TDP
databases and logs. 
        There are currently about 15 weeks worth of backups on this
server, as we have moved the 
        Notes backups to a new server TDP is no longer telling TSM when
the backups can be removed. 
        This means I have to keep the full 15 weeks on the old server
until a new 15 week copy has been created 
        on the new server, by looking at the node I can only see the DB
and log backups. Can any tell we if there 
        is a way of expiring the TDP information from the 4.1 TSM server
as the backups build up on the new TSM server. 


Many Thanks,

Andrew Young
