Hi Zoltan,

Some things to check

1. Has the policy set with that management class has been activated?

2. Does the management class have a backup copy group?

3. Is the node doing the backup a member of the policy domain that includes
the 15DAYS management class? Note: if this is a proxy node backup, the
target node (specified with ASNODENAME option) is the one that has to be a
member of the domain with the 15DAYS management class.

4. Is a client option set associated with this node, and might that client
option set have overriding INCLUDE statements? And as above, if this is a
proxy node backup, it is the target node name specified by ASNODENAME that
you need to check.

Other things that might be helpful:

Run "dsmc query mgmtclass" to make sure the management class 15DAYS shows
up.

Run "dsmc query inclexcl" to check the run-time include-exclude list, to
see if something could be overriding your current specification. Make sure
to use the same options file as the production backup, and to use
ASNODENAME if the production backup uses it.

Check dsmerror.log to see if there are any binding errors.

Best regards,

- Andy
