Re: TDP Copy Groups

[Del Hoobler]

 For example.  I've set up TDP for Exchange as follows...

 VDE no limit
 VDD no limit
 REV 60
 ROV 60

Joe,

In addition to David's note...
All TDPs are not created equal. Therefore you should
refer to the User's Guide for each TDP.  The User's Guides
each have a section about configuring TSM policy settings.

For SQL and Exchange versions 2.2, what you have done,
is one possible way to do it. In fact, it works very nice
because no matter how many backups you take, it will
always keep 2 months worth of restorable data.

For Oracle, David is correct, you will want
VERDELETED=0 and RETONLY=0.

Thanks,

Del

TDP Copy Groups

[Wholey, Joseph (TGA\\MLOL)]

I'm in the process of setting up TDP for Oracle and SQL.  Can someone tell me if the 
co group definitions work the same for all of the TDP products.

For example.  I've set up TDP for Exchange as follows...

VDE no limit
VDD no limit
REV 60
ROV 60

And I expect this to keep my exchange data available for 60 days.  On day 61, my first 
backup should expire (I hope).  Does it work the same for TDP for Oracle and SQL?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Joe

No it doesn't, depends on what versions of TDP you have.
With TDP SQL 2.2 you can do normal versioning like you
would for plain old NT or unix files.  With TDP SQL prior to 2.2
and for TDP Oracle (all versions as far as I know) you set
Verdeleted =0
Retonly=0
(Per manual)
The Oracle RMAN scripts actually do the deleting, the difficulty
depends on the verion of Oracle you have.

If you have TDP SQL earlier than 2.2, then as I recall you setup
copy group similarly (check manual) and you have to either delete
manually from client or with ver 1.1.2 they provided an autodelete
on client that you could set to run and delete versons over certain
number of days.
