Hi all,
I may be required to implement a weekly full backup for certain of our key
netware data servers.
I have used all the arguments against this pointing out that you do not need it
with the incremental forever philosophy of TSM.
I have also pointed out that if you do need it, backupsets are the preferred
alternative.
However assuming I am forced to go that route I have a few of queries.

Am I correct that you need to set the backup copygroup mode to absolute for
every management class mentioned in the dsm.opts plus the default,
before the "full backups", and reverse it back to modified afterwards.

Will the TSM host server still need to produce and send its list of active files
to the client for comparison purposes, even if only to mark deleted files
inactive.

Will the absence of file attribute checking on the client make any noticeable
difference to how long the backup takes.

Thanks
