Bill, you may want to emplore the archive method once a month.
I think this is the part where the "Unlike _every_ other backup system you've ever used, TSM doesn't have/need the grandfather,father,son,grandon tape schema, etc.... ) You may care to reevaluate your "need" for full monthlies. -ed Ed Anderson Unix Systems Administrator University of Mississippi Medical Center [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002/03/12 09:33:04 AM >>> Hi , I am new to TSM (mostly self taught) and not too hot on NT either. I need help from someone with a bit of time and patience to spare. My objective is to do a full monthly backup in addition to the daily incrementals for a particular backup client. I intend to use two different node names, two different Domain policies, and two separate schedulers and different dsm.opt files. Maybe run the full backup in command mode & copy control mode absolute. I would like the schedules to run without any manual intervention. Am I on the right track ? Now how exactly do I go about this ? ( as much detail as you like,please!) My TSM Server runs NT 4.1 & TSM 4.1 My Backup Client runs NT 4.1 Cheers Bill Dourado ******************************* Disclaimer ******************************* This email and any files transmitted with it contains privileged and confidential information and is intended for the addressee only.
