 Hi.

 Is there a way to get the ADSM scheduler to run full backups
 periodically on a Windows NT machine? Currently, our users
 install the ADSM Scheduler as an NT service, which is great
 for daily incremental backups. But some users want to force a full
 backup once every month or so. The only way I could think of
 was to have them run 'DSMC Selective -subdir=yes c:\*.*'. But
 they would have to find some way to automate this command to run
 monthly. Is this the only way to achieve periodic monthly full
 backups? And if so, how can this be automated? We are currently
 running ADSM/VM V2.1 lvl 013 server and our NT 4.0 clients are running
 the V3.1 ADSM client.

 Thanks, Dave Kalenderian
