Hi,
this is a how to question! (I have a fairly good understanding of the TSM server processes, BUT, almost no experience with clients)
We have a few client nodes where we do backups, short term archivals, and long term archivals.
For the long term archivals we trick TSM by generating a unique name each day and backing it up... this way it sticks around for the Policy retain only value number of days (730).
Unfortunately, maybe 30-40% of my data by volume is this long term type and I would like to segregate it from everything else. I suspect that without having to pass all this data, my vault reclamation time would be substantially reduced.
My inclination is to set up another policy which has separate primary and copy pool (which I would never reclaim)...but I'm not sure how to get these guys from the clients to the new primary pool.
Someone else must be doing this... I've been peeking around the client manual re how to this, BUT, the solution is eluding me.
I would appreciate hearing your thoughts (or maybe a just a quick answer)!
Thanks for sharing!
