We're running IDS 10.00.UC10. We're on SunOS, Solaris 10. We're backing up using TSM 5.5.1. We are just starting to use onsmsync to remove old backups, however when I run it I am seeing unexpected results. We started with 3+ months of daily level 0 backups available on TSM. I ran onsmsync -t "2010-03-01 00:00:00". I received a help page indicating that my format is incorrect. All doci that I've seen indicates that the datetime format is right. I ran onsmsync -g 60. I ran onsmsync -i "60 00:00:00". Essentially, after I ran each of these commands (on different servers), all backups prior to yesterday were deleted from TSM for the specified Informix server. Is there something that would be set in a config file for Informix or TSM that would be overriding my command?
