I just saw a page on the TSM support site that had steps for a weekly backup of the system object. Create a schedule with OPTION='-DOMAIN -SYSTEMOBJECT' for the daily backup and another that does a full incremental on a weekend. Haven't tried it, but thought it was interesting to remember.

I thought the obvious choice was to use the new "include.systemobject ALL mgmtclass" option and set the backup copygroup in the specified management class to have a non-zero copy frequency, but that does not seem to have any effect. Does any one know if that is working as designed (I couldn't find any obvious reference to it NOT being supported for system objects, but I might have missed something). If it turns out that copy frequency is not supported, the is the best approach still to just exclude it and use NTBACKUP to a flat file periodically instead? Any advise is much appreciated. Scott.
