Dear Mr Eduardo. TSM isn't build to backup with this system that is Grandpa,Father,Son system.
I would never recommend this kind of configuration. You should configure your system so that you can cover the whole time Spam you need. You will reduce tremendous cost in tapes with that kind of configuration. When you think of TSM you need to think outside of other backup systems you know. because TSM doesn't handle tape expiration like the other systems. TSM expire on file-level (the way it should be). using tape expiration on TSM is a brutal rape on TSM. I recommend you to use only one opt file and, be sure you can cover the whole time you need in your expire configuration. If you think that will be to much data, consider to binding only the important data to the include/exclude option with client option set with multiple management classes.

What is the best way to achieve the following .... I have 6 servers, each one of then must be backed up incrementally on a daily, weakly, monthly and yearly basis. I thought about configuring 4 nodes for each box on the dsm.sys file, lets say: NODE1DAILY NODE1WEEKLY NODE1MONTHLY NODE1YEARLY And also start 4 dsmc sched processes, so they can backup on the way i want. Is it correct or is another way to do this? Thanks in advance. ===== "Do or Do Not, there is no try" -Yoda.
