Re: JR- Backing up same node using diff mgmt class and/or diff schedules

Hi,

Scenario 1 sounds correct to me.

For scenario 2, you can specify which objects 'Objects' should be backed up 
(the most easy way to do this is through the webinterface I think). So you can 
make two schedules, with different objects being backed up. How this would work 
with the dsm.opt, I am not sure, maybe leaving that out of the dsm.opt.

Cheers,

Rick
