For ongoing retetion tasks, setup a COPY type backup.
To freeze all the backups you have at present, the easiest way is to
rename the node (e.g. MAIL01 to MAIL01_FREEZE) and redefine the old
nodename.
Make sure anything you want to keep is bound to a mgmtclass with
everything set to noexpire.
OK, all the real-world TSM Admins agree that the client should provide

David,
I dont know about anyone else, but here is a snip from an error log
regarding journal crashes:

Len/Wayne,
We do nightly fulls with hourly logs (incrementals) 8am-8pm. Our
Exchange admins do a fair amount of restores, and appreciate having an
RPO of 1 hour instead of 24 hours. If your company is willing to lose
24 hours worth of email, I wouldn't worry about it - stick with fulls.
But I

I have a continual problem child with a large windows fileserver.

I've been trying to clean up some bogus failures in our TDp environment
by excluding databases that are offline or have known problems.

Del,
Here is a snip of the dsm.opt and log, but after traveling through other
logs, I also seem some default instances with the same errors, so I am
assuming offline databases fall under the same category you referenced
earlier. The issue is that the schedule is showing up on the TOR as
being
TSM server 5.2.2.0 5.2.4.3
TSM client 5.3.0.15
TOR client 5.3.1.0
Recently we started receiving duplicates of all our Tivoli Op Reporting
daily reports, and I cant figure out why. We havent modified TOR in
months. I checked for duplicate services running, etc, but nothing
obvious shows up.
