Hello Katja,

It can be done with a second management class.
You can do this by defining an ADMIN command schedule that activates the
second management class before the backup.
After the backup you can run a schedule that activates the first
management class.
Your client can implement new disks and directories without giving you
notice.
ADSM automatically detects new files and disks.
I hope this solves your problem. If anyone has found a better way to
solve this problem I'd love to hear about it.

Jerry
