Hi,

most of requirements are perfectly fulfilled here, at our site,
 with incremental backup 
        plus backup storage pool with full volumes moved to 
        external safe.
 Some law agreements are fulfilled with archives.
 An alternative with backupsets would be also viable (less dependant 
 on long-term usage of TSM but more manual work).

best regards
Juraj Salak

hi all,

i would like to know, how you do your backups...

do something like daily, monthly, yearly backups/archives
or do you do everything with mgmt-classes and apropriate settings in
the
backup-/archivegroups???

and why are you doing so??

Why i ask:
We are currently making the daily, monthly, yearly thing and i don't
like it.
But im not shure, if i can handle some law-agreements with the
mgmt-classes
only.

Any samples where fine.

thx
Bernd Wiedmann
