Thanks Wanda. On closer inspection I found exactly what you described. The directories are being bound to this management class. I would look into DIRMC parameter, but is there any way to expire the directories from the present management class.
Thanks, Raminder Braich.

DIRECTORIES are always bound to the management class with the longest retention period, not necessarily the default management class. That probably explains what is happening. Look at using the DIRMC parameter in the dsm.opt file. It lets you specify which management class you want the directories to use. -----Original Message----- From: Raminder Braich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 9:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Management class problems..... The environment: TSM server 4.1.2.0 TSM Client 4.1.2.0 Server OS Win 2K Client OS Win NT We have one management class in a policy set which never expires the files. The limits are set to NOLIMIT. This management class was to be used only for a particular directory on a particular client. However, most of the clients are using this management class for backing up some of their files. The rest of the files are being backed up to the default management class, which is how it should be. How can I make the clients stop using this particular management class? How can I expire the files from this management class except for that one particular client? There is no mention of this class in the client options file and there are no client option sets. Here is the client options file from one of the clients.
