Try this

Scheduled backups run every day and back up every file that has changed with 
the exception of a specifically excluded set (e.g. temporary files). After this 
backup, every included file that exists on disk will have a current copy on 
TSM.  Additional full or partial backups can be run by users as required. 
All superseded copies are kept for 8 days, and  when a file is deleted , its 
last backup is also kept for 8 days.  A particular backup instance of a file 
can reside on TSM controlled disk or tape, although most will be on tape after 
a short period.  A second copy of all backups is created daily on tape and this 
second copy is kept in the offsite vault as long as the primary copy is 
maintained.

Hi everyone

I have been tasked with writing up our backup policies for non AD or T SM
people to understand.

If you have something written that I can plagiarize or bend to my needs, it
would save me so much time, and I would be 'Oh So' grateful.

Presently I am doing daily incremental backups with my default management
class having the following settings,

Versions Data Exists =  no limit
Versions Data Deleted = no limit
Retain Extra Versions = 8
Retain Only Version =   8

I will be doing several other types of backups, archives, and creating of
backup sets.  However, putting the above into words that the bean counters
understand would be a great start.

Thanks in advance
