You need to specify the INCLUDE option to bind the directory to the
desired management class:

   include /directory/* newmg

will bind all files in /directory only (not its subdirectories) to
management class "newmg".

   include /directory/.../* newmg

will bind all files in /directory and its subdirectories to management
class "newmg".

If you wish to process all files in /directory (but not its
subdirectories), then your syntax should be:

   dsmc i /directory/

If you wish to include all subdirectories, add on the -subdir=yes option:

   dsmc i /directory/ -subdir=yes

Note: By design, you can not have different backup versions of the same
file bound to different management classes. All backup versions of a given
file are bound to the same management class. Thus if the files in
/directory are currently bound to the "standard" management class, and you
put in an INCLUDE option to bind those files to "newmg", then when you run
the backup, all existing backup versions of files in /directory will be
rebound to "newmg".

        Subject:        Backing up files, with multiple management classes



I'm trying to get a directory backed up, not archived, with a management
class that isn't the primary managment class for the node.  I wanted to
use an action schedule, that would call a script with  'dsmc i /directory'
and a mangement class option.  But, that doesn't seem to be possible with
the 5.1 aix client.

Thanks,
