Hello all,
I have the following request from a user and hoped that someone out
there has gotton passed the limitation of scheduling through TSM
scheduler( I am running TSM 3.7.3 on AIX 4.3.3 ): the user requested to
have a incremental backups of their data carried out daily with version
control set for 14 for both active and inactive files. they would like a
monthly backup taken on the first Sunday of the month for 6 versions and
weekly backup thereafter for the rest of the month for 4 versions. I
have defined new management classes to hold the data rules on retention
and version control and in teh clients includ-exclude list, I have
grouped the files under their respective mgmt classes. However, ADSM
seems to have a primitive scheduler with limited calendar features found
in common scheduling tools such as Ctrl-M. I intended to use scripts to
trigger the backup jobs but how can I link the various management
classes to the respective backup schedules e.g. MONTHLY_BKUP_SCHED to
bind to MONTHLY_BKUP_MGMTCLASS etc so that the appropriate mgmt rules
are used for the various backups? Any comments is much appreciated !
Regards.
