Hi Don,

I'm not sure to understand your answer.

By the way, thanks for your answer. I'm interested in this mailing and was
not the originator.


Our Backup solution is based on tdp for domino 1.1.2. Our tsm client is
4.2.1.20 based on Windows Nt4 server.

here is our strategy:
 a full backup a week - keeping 5 version (management class=week)
 a full backup a month - keeping 13 version (management class=month)
 an incremental version a day - keeping 5 version (management class=daily)

after reading your mail, I understand that having 3 MC for the same file
will cause the retention to change after every backup when the MC is used. 
So for example:
when week backup is finished, it will apply the MC for the file and when
month backup is finished, it will change all retention on every file base on
the new MC ?
 
thanks 

Mike

You are abit confused.  The *ONLY* way to have TWO policies applicable to a
given file is to use TWO node-names for your backups;  swapping policy sets
*may* work for your situation, if what you want (and set) is 30 versions of
a given file... that piece will work.

Files can be bound only to one management class at a time; if you try
changing MC for the file, it will change ALL versions to that MC, not just
the next backup.  The policyset-swap trick is useful when changing from
modified to absolute and back;  that's about the only use I've ever seen for
multiple policy sets.  Hope this helps.

Regards,
Don
