Acrserve 11.5 sp4 database problem

I'm using acrserve 11.5 sp4. When I'm making a backup i still have to merge every tape when i want to restore a file.

Does anybody know what's the problem?

The reason you have to merge the tape everytime you need to restore is that the session information which resides in the database gets removed.

You need to check for the DB pruning job.

Just got to the server admin and check in configuration - database .
You can specify the DB pruning job to delete the records older than option.

The default options is 30 days, which means that any backups which are older than 30 days might not be visible when you you try to expand them through restore by session or restore by tree.Hence you have to merge them first to see them there.

It is better you can specify the number of days you want the database to hold the session informtion.

That way you can save time by not having to merge before every restore.
