Rainer,

I found out, the hard way, that only the copies defined in VERE are
retrievable.  The thirty extra copies that showed up in a SQL search
weren't there in the gui or the cli for the client.

Hi,
we have tsmserver 5.3.3.2 / Client 5.3.3.0 - on solaris

The Copy-Group looks like:

Policy     Policy     Mgmt       Copy       Versions  Versions    Retain
Retain
Domain     Set
Name   Class      Group          Data      Data     Extra     Only
Name                  Name       Name         Exists   Deleted  Versions

---------  ---------  ---------  ---------  --------  --------  --------
-------
AAA000     ACTIVE     DIRECTORY  STANDARD   No
Limit         5        60       60
AAA000     ACTIVE     STANDARD   STANDARD          5         5        60
    60
AAA000     STANDARD   DIRECTORY  STANDARD   No
Limit         5        60       60
AAA000     STANDARD   STANDARD   STANDARD          5         5        60
    60

I have tested the 'verexist' option and can see that
(without running expiration on the server)
I can do for example 6 incremental backups on the same always changing file.

Now the query on the inactive Files only shows up 5 Versions of that file
even though there are really 6 Versions stored at the server.
I am not sure but i think in former tsm-Versions i could
query/restore all the 6 Versions from the Client.
Is that behavior now normal ?


Consequently for the retonly-Option ( here 60 days ) :
If not running any expiration on the server: Am I able to restore
an inactive / deleted file  - expired more than 60 days ago ?

I always thought all files that haven'T left TSM through
the expiration could be restored at the Client - but it does seem to be so ?

Thanks in advance
for any hints
Rainer
