Henrik,
You are correct .
Point in time restore will enable recovery to the same state as if you had
taken a "full backup" on that particular day.
This is the way TSM was designed to work.
Using absolute mode would have significant impact both on your media use
and the size of your database.

Hello Arnaud,

*SM will treat the backup as 'full' for 35 days. If you change copymode
from modified to absolute wont make a difference. But the amount of backup
data will increase with absolute..

If I´m wrong, please correct me.

Hi Henrik,

If you want to have something equivalent to a "full" backup, shouldn't you
use "copymode absolute" ? Else, only modified files would be backuped ...
My 2 cents.

Arnaud

Hi,

Something like:


 Versions Data       28
 Exists

 Versions Data       28
 Deleted

 Retain Extra        28
 Versions

 Retain Only Version 28

 Copy Frequency      1

should work fine.

Regard,

Karel

Onderwerp: Point in time restore vs Archiving


I have a question regarding an issue regarding Archiving.

Lets say I have a policy that says that I need to do FULL backups days a
week for 4 weeks. Ofcourse I can do archive each day but then I think I
don't use the functunallety in TSM.

Is there a way of doing incremental backups that covers 4 weeks back in
time?

I have the following settings in my TSM for a backup group


 Backup Copy Groups : STANDARD ACTIVE STANDARD STANDARD







 Policy Domain Name  STANDARD

 Policy Set Name     ACTIVE

 Mgmt Class Name     STANDARD

 Copy Group Name     STANDARD

 Versions Data       5
 Exists

 Versions Data       1
 Deleted

 Retain Extra        30
 Versions

 Retain Only Version 60

 Copy Mode           MODIFIED

 Copy Serialization  SHRSTATIC

 Copy Frequency      0

 Copy Destination    BACKUPPOOL






Do You think this would meet the 4 weeks restore policy.....

Thanx


Med Vänlig Hälsning/ Best Regards
