===== One node is increasing without reason =====

==== For example a client node ====

If you backup a folder with wildcard (Ex: dsmc i /tmp/*), then all files will stay active as you don't scan the full directory!!!

Change to 
  dsmc i /tmp/

==== For example a TDPExchange node ====

Count the number of file version keep during lasts months
<cli promot='>'>
> cat count_versions.sh 
#!/bin/bash
file=/tmp/tdpe.txt

dsmadmc -id=admin -pa=xxxxxx -comma -tab "select * from backups where node_name='TDPExchange' order by BACKUP_DATE " >  $file

echo "Month,ACTIVE_versions,INACTIVE_versions,TOTAL_versions"
for i in $(cat $file | cut -d',' -f9 | cut -d'-' -f1,2 | grep '^20' | sort | uniq )
do
  search=",ACTIVE"; linea=$(grep ",$i" $file | grep "$search" | wc -l)
  search=",INACTIVE"; linei=$(grep ",$i" $file | grep "$search" | wc -l)
  linet=$(grep ",$i" $file | wc -l)
  echo "$i,$linea,$linei,$linet"
done

In april there was an upgrade Exchange, without patching TDP for Exchange, now it's no more supported on this version, but it also doesn't expire any backup !
