I have a customer whose netware server is currently backing up to my
Win2000 TSM 4.1.2 server with scheduled daily incrementals. He has
indicated that he wants to start doing full weekly and monthly archives
and keeping them for 1 and 5 years respectively. This wouldn't be a
problem except that he cannot afford to pay for the amount of TSM
storage that would require.

I have thought about defining 2 additional nodes for this netware server
and have one node do weekly incr and one do monthly incr. Is this
workable given the following changes or is there a better way?

1) three opts files, one for each node
2) incl/excl in each opt file will point to different mgmt classes
3) he will need to run 3 schedule services for central scheduling (can
three scheds be run under netware?) or initiate the backups from his
end.

Any suggestions or alternatives?
