I use ABC it works very well. But a batch job will have to be created. I wrote my own, there is one that is included with the product, very generic.
But a normal command looks like this: ABC incremental /summ=(append,file='summfile') 'device': 'params'/ignore=interlock /class='man_class' Anything in ' ' is a variable. But you management class is going to be very different than one that you would use for NT or unix. Mainly due to version numbers.

I've setup the clients for NT and UNIX, but the VMS client seems to be totally different. Unfortunately, I have NO VMS experience and our VMS guy has NO TSM experience. So far we've installed the client on our VMS system, and configured it to talk to the server. I've done a small test backup and everything seems to be working. What I am not clear on (and neither is the documentation) is how to setup Include/exclude lists, and also how to redirect data to a different management class. In NT we would do something like this: Include c:\...\* default_data_mgmt ***OS disk. We might keep 5 versions of files Include d:\...\* user_data_mgmt ***Data disk. We might keep 15 version of files for actual user data exclude c:\...\temp\...\* ***skip all files under temp dirs on OS disk A few things that would really help: If someone has config files that I could look at to get an understanding / see the syntax for the files Any kind of tuning parameters that should be in the files Anything to be careful of when backing up VMS A brief explanation of how to setup include/exclude lists, and also how to route data to mgmt classes Any help would be greatly appreciated- Dave
