...If i am correct, based on the above mc an inactive file will be deleted after 33 days. What about the active backup? for example i am trying to restore a file that i took backup, and i can't see any of inactive/active backup versions of this file. Based on manuals, i know that the active backup version should be existed. (active backup version never expired).

Your thinking is correct, so retention is not the issue. You may not be seeing the file for a number of reasons, including... - It had been deleted or renamed on the client, and expired in TSM. - It was excluded from backups. - You're using the GUI to seek the file and an intermediate directory expired from TSM storage some time ago. - The lookup is not being performed from either the file owner or superuser.
I'd pursue a more encompassing CLI query and see if the file and its neighbors show up, to narrow in on that target.
