If you have need to do a FULL backup occasionally, then you could: 1. Put those 10 nodes in a separate domain 2. In that domain you have 2 policy sets: 1 that is your normal daily incremental backup, and the 2nd one is a copy of the first but changing the MODE=ABSOLUTE in all the backup copygroups. 3. Use your DOMain client option on each node to specify the drives you want if they are different than ALL-LOCAL 4. Set up a schedule that activates your FULL MODE=ABSOLUTE policy set when you want the FULL backups to run. And another to re-activate the standard MODE=MODIFIED incremental policy set.
Just don't forget that if you're doing retention by versions, that this full is going to be another version whether the file has changed or not. You could end up with a lot of your backup files having the active and the most recent inactive version being the same copy of the file.

Hi Guys, I have a scenario where I need to schedule a full backup for 10 client nodes(windows server) under one schedule in the TSM server. All the client nodes have different drive list in it. If I group them under once scheduler with drive list specified in the object parameter of the scheduler, I get backup failure messages from the client nodes as all the drives specified in the scheduler is not available in the client node. I don;t want to schedule 10 separate schedulers for each client node in the TSM server. I have constrains to run the backup on the same day and time. Can you some one help me with a work around with this.. Scenario's example: Client Node 1 has C: D : drives Client Node 2 has C: D : F: drives Client Node 3 has C: D : E: drives Client Node 4 has C: D : S: drives : : : : Client node 10 has C: F:S: drives....
