Hi Gary, In this case you might make use of "rename filespace" command : just rename the filespace corresponding to your VM, and start a fresh backup. Doing so will allow to keep your old VM backup data freezed.
Cheers.

However, I must not have made myself clear. We need something more akin to the backupset. Freeze a backup while allowing further backups to take place afterward. Are these allowed on an individual vm? -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Beta Sent: Friday, May 05, 2017 7:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] freezing a final backup of a vm Hello Gary, take a look @ http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21659826. If you have tdp for ve 7.1 or upper, the vm last backup will stay until "expire vm" command will be executed. Regards.
