Ken, You will find the server commands DEFINE SCHEDULE and UPDATE SCHEDULE in the TSM Administrator's Reference. The client ARCHIVE command is documented in the client manual. I leave it for you to find them within the books, as this is a good opportunity to become more acquainted with them.

Thus when defining schedules on the TSM server, you need to use the OBJECTS parameter to specify the file specs, and the OPTIONS parameter to specify any options (like -SUBDIR=YES and/or -ARCHMC=blah, etc.). For example, I could define a schedule like this: DEFINE SCHEDULE STANDARD MYARCHSCHED OBJECTS="c:\mydir\ c:\yourdir\" OPTIONS="-subdir=yes -archmc=myarchmc" For additional info, see DEFINE SCHEDULE and UPDATE SCHEDULE in the Administrator Reference and look up the ARCHIVE command in the client manual.

I will try this and see if it works. I can do manual client archives via the GUI so I know archives work. Thanks for your trouble.

I have never used archives before, so I need some help here. I setup the archive copygroup to keep archives for 2555 days (7 years). I created an archive schedule and thought that would be it as far as archiving configuration goes, but I received the following error in the client dsmsched.log: 08/15/2003 15:02:19 ANS1079E No file specification entered 08/15/2003 15:07:19 ANS1079E No file specification entered 08/15/2003 15:12:19 ANS1079E No file specification entered 08/15/2003 15:17:20 ANS1079E No file specification entered 08/15/2003 15:22:20 ANS1079E No file specification entered The Message manual indicates that "You did not enter a file specification as prompted". Where does one enter the "file specification" for archive if the archive is being done in a polling schedmode? Doesn't archive just read the client dsm.opt file for the includes/excludes and use this for the archive?? I am not using CLOPTSETs.
