Bill,

you may want to emplore the archive method once a month.

I think this is the part where the "Unlike _every_ other backup system
you've ever used, TSM doesn't have/need the
grandfather,father,son,grandon tape schema, etc.... )

You may care to reevaluate your "need" for full monthlies.

Hi ,

I am new to TSM (mostly self taught) and not too hot on  NT either.
I need help from someone with a bit of time and patience to spare.

My objective is to do a full monthly backup in addition to the daily
incrementals for a particular backup client.

I intend to use two different node names, two different Domain
policies,
and two separate schedulers and different dsm.opt files. Maybe run the
full
backup in command mode & copy control mode absolute. I would like the
schedules to run without  any manual intervention.

Am I on the right track ?

Now how exactly do I go about this ? ( as much detail as you
like,please!)

My TSM  Server runs NT 4.1 &  TSM 4.1

My Backup Client runs NT 4.1

Cheers

Bill Dourado
