Our Oracle and SQL database backups are only kept for 7 days.  We keep TSM 
database backups for 10 days.

Subject: [ADSM-L] SET DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS

Question, I am running TSM 6.3 and running out of database space with nowhere 
to get more at the moment.

My DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS is set to 60 days. I really don't think I need 60 
days. I would like to change this number to 30 days and get some space back. 
What is a norm or an expected amount of days for this parameter?
