Re: archiving questions
Hi Michelle, You will need a management class with an archive copy group that retains the data for 3 years. Therefore you will need to: 1) Create a new management class in the desired domain/policy set. (See DEFINE MGMTCLASS in the Administrator's Reference.) 2) Create an archive copygroup in the new management class with the desired retention. (See DEFINE COPYGROUP in the Administrator's Reference.) 3) Activate the policy set. (See ACTIVATE POLICYSET in the Administrator's Reference.) If you are not the TSM server administrator, then you will need to have that person perform these tasks. Once the new management class is available, you can run the archive and bind the files to that new management class.

Re: archiving questions
Also, how often will they perform the archives ??? how many files make up the data ??? etc... You want to take such things into consideration because they will have an impact on your environment in general (in the form of tsm server data base growth, tsm db performance issues, tape library capacity issues, etc...). Anymore I look at data that is to be kept for over 1 year as stagnant data (that I don't want in the environments). When long term retention is required, I generally register a node by the name of existing node name_exp, have them push any data they require kept to the tsm server using that node name, then I export to two sets of tapes and send to offsite locations. Also, the way you may use relative dates during an import, if they need to extend the retention, all I do is extend the time I keep the tapes. just some food for thought...

Re: archiving questions
hi dwight, The archive will be performed once and then the tapes will be checked out and put in vault. it is only archived because it contains finacial data which to legal reasons is to be kept for a long period of time. In this manner it will not have a great impact i guess, accept on the amount of tapevolumes. but that is to be overcome by purchasing extra. -Original Message- From: Cook, Dwight E [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 2:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: archiving questions Also, how often will they perform the archives ??? how many files make up the data ??? etc...

Michelle, All you have to do is define a management class with the proper retention period, don't forget to activate the policy set. Then from the client run dsmc archive -dirmc=thenameofthatmanagementclass (This binds the archive to that specific management class) This is the key option you need. Use -subdir=yes if you want subdirectories and then specify the folders to archive.

Re: archiving questions
Hello Michelle, if you did the tasks, Andrew expected in the mail before, you can perform an archive operation with the option archmc=your_archive_managementclass. For example you can use the following command to archive files in your diectory d:\archive: archive archmc=archclass d:\archive\* If you use the option -deletefiles, files archived will be deleted on the client! I think, it's very comfortable to use. Also see your document how to use your Backup/Archive Client. There you can get more information about special options.
