hi dwight,
The archive will be performed once and then the tapes will be checked out
and put in vault.
it is only archived because it contains finacial data which to legal
reasons is to be kept for a long period of time.
In this manner it will not have a great impact i guess, accept on the amount
of tapevolumes. but that is to be overcome by purchasing extra.

Also, how often will they perform the archives ???
how many files make up the data ???
etc...
You want to take such things into consideration because they will have an
impact on your environment in general (in the form of tsm server data base
growth, tsm db performance issues, tape library capacity issues, etc...).
Anymore I look at data that is to be kept for over 1 year as stagnant data
(that I don't want in the environments).
When long term retention is required, I generally register a node by the
name of <existing node name>_exp, have them push any data they require kept
to the tsm server using that node name, then I export to two sets of tapes
and send to offsite locations.
Also, the way you may use relative dates during an import, if they need to
extend the retention, all I do is extend the time I keep the tapes.
just some food for thought...

Hi Michelle,
You will need a management class with an archive copy group that retains
the data for 3 years. Therefore you will need to:
1) Create a new management class in the desired domain/policy set. (See
DEFINE MGMTCLASS in the Administrator's Reference.)
2) Create an archive copygroup in the new management class with the
desired retention. (See DEFINE COPYGROUP in the Administrator's
Reference.)
3) Activate the policy set. (See ACTIVATE POLICYSET in the Administrator's
Reference.)
If you are not the TSM server administrator, then you will need to have
that person perform these tasks. Once the new management class is
available, you can run the archive and bind the files to that new
management class.

Subject: archiving questions
Hi all,
A client of mine requests that 220GB of databases are being "archived" on
tape and kept for 3 years.
I've been looking for a way on how to do this but the manuals only speak
of
how the archive client command works. Not really on how things work on the
serverside. I assume I'll have to make another managementclaas which
defines
how long to keep trhe files etc. but I'm not sure how to go about this.
below are the specifics on our current mg classes; the domain I'm speaking
of is the one called progress.
Does anyone have some ideas on how to do this?
thnx a lot,
michelle
