I believe that the node will not rebind so long as you do not change the management class name. But, if you change the management class name as you are proposing it will rebind.
However, I will defer to Del on this. Our problem is a little different. We have a bunch of MS-Exchange backups and we need to keep one week forever, the rest for a year. The backups were created months ago. We cannot use a special management class for that one backup because there is no way to specify that one in the management class. Paul D.

However, that does not solve this problem. There are a number of methods to do this for file systems, but only one of them that I can think of that will work for this. Mind you I have never tested this, but we are probably going to in the next couple of weeks. You set up 2 Exchange Backup Node Names. One you run on the other cycle, one you run your normal cycle. Both need to be fulls and the logistics of using incrementals or differentials can create some interesting issues. So presuming both nodes are doing fulls. You have two dsm.opt files if necessary, probably not, just use 2 different policy domains and default management classes. The tdpexcc backup command supports the tsmnode specification. You set the copy group for one policy domain to 365 days and run the backup once a month on the day you want to with that node specified. This is kind of what you indicated. So you are on the right track. Now, for the licensing issue. TDP for Exchange is not licensed by node it is licensed by CPUs or physical machines. You could define 20 nodes for that box if necessary. What you have to do is register more licenses to TSM. I would name your nodes in a way so that when queried it is obvious that you only have one for the group. This has been the licensing debacle for Tivoli. They realized that a licensing scheme based on nodes does not work. What they have to do is provide certificates that are registered to the hardware, but everyone is different so it creates a monster. Thus, they gave up based on what I have seen. Talk to your Tivoli Representative or Business Partner. I am pretty sure I am right on this. Paul D.

I hasn�t hear anything about that IBM will make this feature possible. Old SQL data and old Excahnge data is useless. the only reason for you to use this kind of data is perhaps that 2 years from now you would like to know how your databases looked like in 2002. I think Oracle has a interface that creates a snapshot of your database, oracle then dumps the data to files. Im not enugh database guru to know this in depth but perhaps microsoft has a utility like this one. I think that is the way the vendors want you to do it. hope this helps :) Kvedja/Regards Petur Eythorsson Taeknimadur/Technician IBM Certified Specialist - AIX Tivoli Storage Manager Certified Professional Microsoft Certified System Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nyherji Hf Simi TEL: +354-569-7700 Borgartun 37 105 Iceland URL: http://www.nyherji.is -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Levinson, Donald A.

I need to be able to keep monthly and yearly backups or archives of my database but still expire the rest of the backups. One person suggested I create two clients and backup the monthly and yearly backups to the second client name (using a second dsm.opt I presume) but I do not wish to use two TDP licenses just to backup the same box. Has anyone else come up with a resolution to this using the current TDP clients? This transmittal may contain confidential information intended solely for the addressee.
