Dear Yudi,

might not solve your problem but there are a few things which need to be 
discussed:

1)
All backup copy groups have exactly the same (default?) retention settings. 
Therefore I can not see any reason why you have setup different management 
classes.

2)
There is one backup copy group which refers to a non-existing or non 
"readwrite" storagepool named WEEKLY_DISK_POOL.
Any backup using that management class will most-likely fail unless there is a 
valid and writable "Next Storage Pool" defined for that primary storage pool

3)
TSM stores directory tree information first as far as I know.
In order to make sure that directory tree metadata information will be 
available as long as there is valid backup data, TSM will by default use the 
management class with the logest retetion period to store directory 
information. In theory if all management classes have the same retention levels 
it should store the directory information with the same management class which 
is used during a backup session to store the actual files.
Wonder if it happens in your case that TSM selects the inappropriate MC for 
directory information and therefore fails (e.g. tries to backup that data into 
the WEEKLY_DISK_POOL).
Please (only for test purpose) add the following line to your dsm.opt and retry 
backup:

DIRMC DAILY_MC

This will force TSM to use a specific management class for directory 
information.



Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Best regards
