Yes, you are right, the data will rebound itself with first policy the moment u 
fire
regular daily backup. Of course the two nodes solution is practical one.

Dear Gagan Singh,

I don't think we can use one nodename and have two policies on the same data.

For example if we have following two policies for one nodename:-
Policy1=90 Days retention (for daily backup) for DATA xyz
Policy2=Nolimit  (Monthly Backup) for DATA xyz

Backup xyz monthly using policy2
Backup xyz daily using policy1

In this case when you backup xyz using policy1 the object xyz will get rebound 
to policy1
and will expire objects older that 90 days.

I think we need to have two nodenames to address requirements like keeping 
permanently
monthly backups (Backups taken using TDP for exchange, here we can not use 
backupset or
archives).

Anybody with different findings?

Regards
Rane

Dear Mr. Rane

I will suggest you to create one more management class with retention as 
NOLIMIT. Create
one more config file for Exchange client on the node where u bind this 
management class to
the data backup using include statement. Write one more script where u meantion
/CONFIGFILE=newfilename with cmdline command parameter pointing to this config 
file.

Run regular script with default management class for that client on regular 
days. Run the
alternate script (mentioned above) on month end which specifies different 
configfile ==>
which in turn binds the data to management class with NOLIMIT retention period.

Else u will definately lose onto one TDP for Mail License. Moreover the 
restoration may
create confusion at times.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks and regards

Hi All,

We have implemented the TDP for exchange (24 X 7 environment). TSM backup 
policy set to 90
days.
But Management wants to retain monthly backups permanently.

In this case backup set and archives can not be used as it does not support TDP 
for
exchange. Other solution is to use two node names for TDP backup. Use one node 
name for
daily backup and other node name for monthly backup.

My question is whether these two node names will be counted as two license in 
use?
What is the general practice followed to retain monthly backups permanently.

Regards
Rane
