hello,

i use TSM Flashcopy manager 6.2 for backuping (create snapshot on a storage 
XIV) ms exchange 2010.

basically it works fine, but i have two questions:

1) the name of the FCM created snapshot on the xiv is a random "name"
is it possible to "create/define" a "fix" name (eg: SNAPShot_Month_Year) for 
the snapshot?
instead of VSS-12345678-3333-1111-3333-123456789012

2) in the FCM exchange GUI there can be defined a POLICAY
a) how many number of snapshots to keep - default 2 versions
b) days to keep a snapshot - default 30 days

i have changed a) to 6 versions

but now i had the problem that last week before the 3rd snapshot was created
the first was DELETED!!! ???

why?
an error, anyhting else i must configure?
or is the problem that b) is 30 days and the first snapshot is older than 30 
days??

thanks!
