Enviro:
W2K TSM server 5.1.6.3
W2K client 5.1.5.15
8 W2K/NT4 servers as clients
120 GB disk pool
Backup ~130 GB/day
14 HR backup window

Due to budget constraints (meaning $$ for libraries), I must make TSM work
under this situation:

1-drive DLT HP 718 library (8-slots)
Weekly full (absolute) backup + incremental tapes go to off-site tape
vault each week.
Last week of month, make archive tapes for 7-year data retention.

I have the STANDARD domain, the STANDARD Mgmt class (as default TSM
install).
I have created another Mgmt class for FULL_Backups (copy mode absolute,
etc., etc., etc.).

My question:

1) How do I get the client servers to execute this FULL_Backup Mgmt class
on a weekend schedule, while maintaining the STANDARD Mgmt class for M-F?

I know this may have been discussed in the archives, but haven't found
anything useful there.

Can someone point out this scenario in any of the redbooks?
