Thanks again Del That does sound like a better way forward, but can someone point me in the right direction of information on how to configure two TSM clients (nodenames), on one machine. This is not something I am familiar with? I'll start browsing the manuals I have anyway but first hand experience with this kind of thing is always a good point of reference.

Many customers accomplish this by setting up a secondary TSM NODENAME like DOMSRV1_ARCHIVE and perform a monthly Data Protection for Domino backup using a different nodename with different policy setting to meet their longterm archival needs. Another thing you can look at is IBM DB2 CommonStore for Lotus Domino: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/commonstore/lotus/ Thanks, Del ---------------------------------------------------- Del Hoobler Tivoli Storage Manager Development IBM Corporation "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> wrote on 01/26/2006 10:56:41 AM: > Hi Del > > OK, that all makes sense, but in this case where we are doing full backups > every weekend, and if we wanted to keep data for a year (at least) we are > going to end up with 52 full copies of the db in backup.
