I am still working understanding why my TSM DB continues to grow and think I may have come upon something. I have many retention policies in the management class for all my file servers. The goal was to keep most data for only 90 days after it was deleted and to keep 90 versions if it was a file

It's not just a matter of the retention values, but also the number of versions. Assuming you run backup on a daily basis, if an object changes every day, then you will only be able to restore that object up to 10 days ago. Thus for the case of an object changing every day, the 184 day retention

Hey guys, quick question. We recently upgraded to an IBM3584 library from an older 3494. We now have to manually interact with the library for tape check in or outs. When our DR media is created we have to 'q request' and then 'rep #' of the request for each tape. This obviously is a pain since
