I ran the command file which is executed when my TDP for domino gets scheduled. I substituted a different dsm.opt file to exclude the mail files. After the incremental backup ran, it expired all but 2 backup version of my mail files. It is though it had changed the number of backup version to keep. Last night it backed up again but did not increase the number of versions held on the tsm server. All the other Domino data bases are keeping the default 4 versions. In addition, when I issue the command on the server 'show versions node * ' all the Domino data bases are attached to the same (default) management class.
command executed via a command file; start domdsmc Incremental * /SUBDir=Yes /adsmoptfile=dsmtest.opt /logfile=C:\TSMLog\domtest.log >> domtest.log dsmtest.opt ExCLUDE \* EXCLUDE log.nsf EXCLUDE mail*.box INCLUDE \dir\ssssl.nsf DOMINO-CRITICAL-MGMTCLS INCLUDE \udir\ffffobj.nsf DOMINO-CRITICAL-MGMTCLS INCLUDE \udir\ppppq.nsf DOMINO-CRITICAL-MGMTCLS INCLUDE \udir\cccarc.nsf DOMINO-CRITICAL-MGMTCLS EXCLUDE mail\* I can not understand why running this command from the C:\ prompt would expire 3 of my extra version. Any help is greatly appreciated Robert
