Jack, >> Reading the docs for the TDP closely helps. I had to :(
I have been through what I've been able to find (there has been relatively little of that compared to, say, Oracle or DB2 backups), but alas I haven't been able to find anything about the server-side copygroup configuration for a TDP Informix client. Unless I've missed that page somewhere - please tell me I have as it seems like a fairly fundamental piece of information to have available. >> In any case, you need to have one client for the machine (system and flat files), and another name for the TDP. Yeah, the same as we have for other DB and cluster backups - we tend to put them into a different policy domain too.

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.
