Del,

The select statement you sent me was quite useful.  False alarm...I have a
separate node registered for my new MC.  I was firing up the Domino GUI
which was opening up the default node.  When I put the switch ( domdsm
/adsmoptfile=dsm10yr.opt), then I got all my monthly backups.

Do I really need a separate node to do my monthly backups (with a new MC)?
Or can I use the same node as my incrementals?

Thanks a lot!

Rodolfo

Rodolpho,

What do you mean they have expired just like your incrementals?
Do you mean they have been deleted off the TSM Server completely?
>From the information you included, I cannot explain what is going on.

1. Is the nodename you are using for your monthly backups,
   "DOMSERV.MONTHLY" different than the nodename you use for your
   daily backups?
2. Are you sure the "DOMSERV.MONTHLY" node is registered
   to the correct policy domain?
3. How do you know these backups have "expired"?

If they are expiring, you can check to see what management
class the backups have been assigned to with the following
TSM Server command:

   select * from backups where node_name='DOMSERV.MONTHLY'

Thanks,

Del
