<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Eric,</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&lt;P&gt;When your are using ARCHIVE each copy of the file will
be saved as an</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>unique file with its own expiration date.

Thus when you archive on a daily</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>basis with a retention
of 5 days and once a month with a retention of 365</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>days
the monthly archive will always be kept for 365 days.</FONT> </P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&lt;P&gt;The rebinding is only taking place when you use ADSM's
BACKUP function</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>(selective or incremental).</FONT> </P>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>&lt;BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE&gt;Hi ADSM-ers!</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>&lt;BR&gt;I have a customer with the following requirements: He

wants an incremental</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>backup taken every day. The
databases on the client are archived (through</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>the
database utilities) to ADSM daily. One time each month he wants to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>have the archive version kept for a longer period than the
standard archive</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>retention. Since this archive is from
the same databases I cannot use different</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>archive
management classes (the next archive would rebind the files to</FONT> <BR><FONT
SIZE=2>the standard retention). How should I implement this?</FONT> <BR><FONT
SIZE=2>&lt;BR&gt;Thank you very much for your reply in advance!</FONT> <BR><FONT

SIZE=2>&lt;BR&gt;Kindest regards,</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>&lt;BR&gt;Eric van
Loon&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>&amp;nbsp;&lt;/HTML&gt;</FONT>
