Is the file bound to a management class at the time of the backup operation,
through the include/exclude list file, isn't it?

Next day I return to my day by day management class and I make backup
operations on the same files/directories, but this time they will have the
rules specified in the copy group of my management class, management class
which is different than mgmt class mentioned above ( that " no limit " class
)?!

Do this mean that I rebound my files after the backup is finished?

Ok, let's say I choose to move my data.
Are this the rights steps?

1. Make the backup with the "no limit"  mgmt class
2. issue move data volname stgpool=another storage pool ( optical - sice i do
not have disk space
3. issue move data opticvolume stgpool= tape storage pool

Thank you for your help.
