Reading the docs for the TDP closely helps. I had to :( In any case, you need to have one client for the machine (system and flat files), and another name for the TDP. I hope this helps. ... Jack

Guys & especially Del Hoobler ;o), New to Informix backups. One of our internal customers has an Informix consultant in who has never used TSM before, and is looking to try out some TDPI/ONBAR backups to our TSM servers. Looking at what (little) documentation there is for TDPI on IBM.COM, I'm a little in the dark as how to register these nodes best at the TSM server side. I've created a new domain for these backups, but when it comes to retver, reto etc in the backup and archive copygroups, I can't find any guidance at all in the docs. From my understanding of I have been able to discover, expiration is managed at the Informix end, so am I looking at a similar setup to the retention settings I've used in the past for DB2/Oracle backups? Any guidance most welcome! TSM Server Solaris 5.1.6.2, clients at 5.1.6.2 (Solaris probably 8 but could be 9), don't know which version of TDP for Informix they might be using, but I presume a latest version.
