We have done the following to only allow 10 versions of system objects... Works 
Great!

Created a management class called SYSTEM_OBJECTS 

Then did A TSM Server Side Forced Client Option to tie the Mgmt class to the 
Win2K nodes

        Option   Override  Option Value                                         
       
      
        INCLEXCL Yes  INCLUDE.SYSTEMOBJECT ALL SYSTEM_OBJECTS

Just make sure whenm you register your Win2k Clients that you specified a 
Client Option Set.  

Here's out intel Clopt, we force all from Server side, so far it works well.

I just saw a page on the TSM support site that had steps for a weekly backup
of the system object. Create a schedule with OPTION='-DOMAIN -SYSTEMOBJECT'
for the daily backup and another that does a full incremental on a weekend.
Haven't tried it, but thought it was interesting to remember.

Subject: Win2K SystemObjects and Backup Group Copy Frequency


Hello there,

Has anyone had any experience trying to limit the number of backups of
the system state objects in Win2K?

I thought the obvious choice was to use the new "include.systemobject
ALL mgmtclass" option and set the backup copygroup in the specified
management class to have a non-zero copy frequency, but that does not
seem to have any effect.  Does any one know if that is working as
designed (I couldn't find any obvious reference to it NOT being
supported for system objects, but I might have missed something).

If it turns out that copy frequency is not supported, the is the best
approach still to just exclude it and use NTBACKUP to a flat file
periodically instead?

Any advise is much appreciated.

Scott.
