Re: [ADSM-L] Archiving basic queries

Archiving and backups are two separate considerations unless you do anarchive with the deletefiles option.

If you archive a file it remains on the client unless you add thedeletefiles option. In that case, the backup versions are not affected.

If you archive with the deletefiles option, then the file is removed fromthe client and the rules you have set for deleted files applies to yourbackup version.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Archiving basic queries

I have a lot of old data I want to archive based on the file accessed date.I know Tivoli cannot do this for me so I am putting together an app tolocate and archive each file using batch mode. My queries are morefundamental - I'm having trouble finding a simple explanation of the archiveprocess!

If I archive a file, is the file removed from the source afterwards? Oncearchived, are files removed from other primary and secondary storage poolsthey might be living in? I'm archiving to free up Tivoli library space soI'd like to expire archived files immediately; does the archive process dothis or will I have to manually expire each file as it is archived? I don'twant to wait for the files to expire automatically as we have a fairly longretention period set by default.

And last, is there a redbook anywhere that CLEARLY explains the archiveprocess. I have lots that address archiving (the mechanics, how to performit etc) but none that explain what exactly happens.


Thanks
Angus
