Susan,

There is a way to do both types of backups: Define an extra schedule called
maybe
"weekly" and set the type as selective. Your normal incr. backups will
query the
schedule from the server and automatically start the weekly backup when
it's time to do so.
I have not had the chance to test the migration but I would think that ADSM
will ignore the migrated files. If you are concerned about losing a file
that has been migrated, you can specify that ADSM must have a backup copy
before migrating the file - This is done in the
mgmtclass.(MIGREQUIRESB=Yes).

A migrated file would not have changed since the last backup was done so a
full backup does not need to backup the migrated files.
The "stub" file will be backed up and not the complete file.

Hope this helps...
