Hi Sean

I'd use separate nodenames to be able to handle the different ages of the
data.

The problem if you should try to use different management classes for the
different backups, is that it is the same data you are backing up, so you
cannot use the mgmt class option in your opt-file.

Best Regards

Hi

I need assistance in setting up a management class for a Informix
database on a AIX server.
We are currently running ADSM server Version 3.
The ADSM/API client installed on the server is version 3.1.20.7.
We are using the Onbar utility to backup the Informix database to ADSM.
The scheduled Informix backups needs to be kept for the following
periods :

1) A full backup to run once a week to be kept for 32 days
2) A incremental backup to run daily excluding when the full backup runs
to be kept for 32 days.
3) A full backup once a month to be kept for 2 years.
4) A full backup every 3 months to be kept for 1 year.

Please take in consideration the Informix logs must also be backed up.
I also need to use the same NODE name as well as the same Storage pool
when defining the management class.

Your help in the above will be greatly appreciated.

Thks
