here also no change pending.
your below statement is almost correct.
And it appears you perform a VMware backups to local disk, then TSM Client Archive, then delete the VMDK from vSphere, and then you want to Retrieve an Archived VMDK using the TSM Client to the vSphere server.
although same setting is configured for all other copygroup but only this copygroup data is moving into archive.
I am attaching the snapshot for other copygroup also fort better clarification.
tsm: ITSM01>q copy vmmonth type=archive f=d
ANR2034E QUERY COPYGROUP: No match found using this criteria.
ANS8001I Return code 11.
tsm: ITSM01>q copy vmweek type=archive f=d
ANR2034E QUERY COPYGROUP: No match found using this criteria.
ANS8001I Return code 11.
