Hi

Create a mgmtclass where you specify retentionperiod and versions for
directories.
Define option DIRMC <mgmtclassname> in the clients dsm.sys files - or via an
option set on the server.

Hi,

Point in Time Trouble's on AIX.

It seems that TSM expires dir's on the same way as the files;
The policy's says: 3 extra versions.
When you change a file regularly, after 3 backup's the oldest file disapears
from tape.
It seems that the same happend to the dir's, when a dir changes regular (by new
or changing files) after 3 backup's the dir disapaers....

So, when i want to do a point in time restore, all the dir's with activity older
than 3 day's are gone.... also ALL the files in that dir.

This isn't right.... is it....

Does somebody have's a solution?

TIA,
