Miles, your include statement should have a * to wildcard the files, for
example

Include /spdata/* 30day

That will rebind all the files in that directory to the 30day MC. If you
want to include subdirectories, your include should look like

Include /spdata/.../* 30day

For backup, active and their inactive versions are rebound to the 30day MC.
If files were deleted, that is only inactive versions exist, then there is
no way of rebinding these. This is true also for archive "versions" which
also cannot be rebound. All you can do is change the MC definition
(copygroups).

For massive changes in MC assignment, start over again for a file system by
renaming the filespace to something that does not exist, then redo the
entire backup of the file space with the new MC definitions, and after an
appropriate amount of time, delete the old filespace. Remember "filespace"
is the entity on ADSM/TSM, "file system" is what's on AIX.

Subject:  Rebinding inactive objects




Hi folks,

I want to rebind my /spdata filesystem on my CWS. Previously the files were
bound to the default MC. I changed the include - exclude list to say:
Include /spdata  30Day

(for a new 30 Day MC).
The active files got rebound but the inactive files did not.

Without modifying the default MC, can I rebind these files? I need to clean
out some space and this filesystem is retaining too much data.

Thanks Miles
