IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

Running expiration processing to delete expired files

Expiration processing deletes expired client files from the server storage. Expiration processing also removes from the database any restartable restore sessions that exceed the time limit for saving such sessions.

You can run expiration processing either automatically or by command. You should ensure that expiration processing runs periodically to allow the server to reuse storage pool space that is occupied by expired client files.

Note:
  1. A base file is not eligible for expiration until all of its dependent subfiles have been expired.
  2. An archive file is not eligible for expiration if there is a deletion hold on it. If a file is not held, it will be handled according to existing expiration processing.
