Point in time restore vs Archiving

[nomafa]

I have a question regarding an issue regarding Archiving.



Lets say I have a policy that says that I need to do FULL backups days a week for 4 weeks.

Ofcourse I can do archive each day but then I think I don't use the functunallety in TSM.



Is there a way of doing incremental backups that covers 4 weeks back in time?



I have the following settings in my TSM for a backup group



Backup Copy Groups : STANDARD ACTIVE STANDARD STANDARD



Policy Domain Name STANDARD

Policy Set Name ACTIVE

Mgmt Class Name STANDARD

Copy Group Name STANDARD

Versions Data Exists 5

Versions Data Deleted 1

Retain Extra Versions 30

Retain Only Version 60

Copy Mode MODIFIED

Copy Serialization SHRSTATIC

Copy Frequency 0

Copy Destination BACKUPPOOL







Do You think this would meet the 4 weeks restore policy.....



Thanx

You could use the following settings:



Backup Copy Groups : STANDARD ACTIVE STANDARD STANDARD



Policy Domain Name STANDARD

Policy Set Name ACTIVE

Mgmt Class Name STANDARD

Copy Group Name STANDARD

Versions Data Exists NOLIMIT

Versions Data Deleted NOLIMIT

Retain Extra Versions 35

Retain Only Version 35

Copy Mode MODIFIED

Copy Serialization SHRSTATIC

Copy Frequency 0

Copy Destination BACKUPPOOL



This means, that you could restore every stand that was stored within 4 weeks (1 Month) + plus some extra days .



But if you are speaking about the TSM-Database, the bu_groups or ar_groups doesn't matter.
