Thanks for that Regarding the extra version, I don't think it matters here as there;s prolly only ever one version anyway. Regarding the " " arround the dir/file spec, is this necessary to make it work?

I�d only add "" around the directory/file specification. Because you keep you keep 3 file versions for 180 days there is one extra thing to be considered: be aware of renaming files, directories or moving files to different directories. Once this happens, next tsm backup will expire all extra version thus eliminating your efforts to keep extra backup versions for long time. regards Juraj -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Farren Minns [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 17.

Running TSM 5.1.6.2 on Solaris. Backing up a Solaris 5.1.6.0 client. I want to back up one directory and all it's sub dir's with a different Management Class to the rest of the server. Now, I have set up a new management class and made sure it is active. The class in question is called RETDEL750 and the Backup Copy Group under this looks as follows :- Versions Data Exists � � � �3 Versions Data Deleted � � � �1 Retain Extra Versions � � � �180 Retain Only Version � � � �750 This means that when a file gets deleted from the server, we'll still have it in backup for 750 days. This much is fine. Now, under the client option set for this server I have added an include statement as follows :- include /app/production/prodlive/jasper/data/content/loading/.../* retdel750 Is this the correct way to associate the backup copy group and make sure that it is applied to all files and sub dir's.
