One way to do this would be to have management classes that have a
backup frequency of 7 seven days.  You could:

        1. Create Management Class Monday, and associate all files in the
Monday directory to it. Run the backup on Monday.
        2. On Tuesday, create a Management Class Tuesday, and associate
all files in the Tuesday directory to it. Run the backup on Tuesday.
        3. etc......

        After you have done this for the first week, all the files would
then be looked at every 7 days. (It still is going to examine the
directories, but not back up any of the data in them.)

        Another way to do this would be just to do scheduled incremental
backups on the particular directories and not look at the other ones for
that particular day.
At 04:38 PM 1/4/2007 -0500, you wrote:

I have a process on a windows system that creates about 400gig of data
each day.  It dumps this data
each day to a different directory.  Monday's to "monday", Tuesday's to
"tuesday" etc.

I only want tsm to backup the data in that day's directory and not any of
the other days.

I'm currently using the TSM scheduler and TSM acceptor on the client to
trigger the nightly backups.

Anyone have any ideas / suggestions how I might go about that ?  Is there
a way to do it in the
include/exclude file ?

Thank you.
