Hallo Ricky,

each TSM installation/environment is different, but assuming, that you do a
TSM backup every day, for me, 60 days seem to be too much. 

I would suggest, that 7 days would be "enough". But that?s also depending of
course on your company's SLA prereqs/dependencies.

Betreff: 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?
