I wouldn't change the management class to a different class; I'd just
update the mode of the existing class(es), then activate the policy set.

In an admin script or schedule, you don't need to pass in the "yes"
response to activate the policy set.

Previous PostI know this has been discussed in length,  Jerry had a great
idea to just change the default mgnt class monthly to a mgmt class that
has a copy group with the Copy Mode of  "ABSOLUTE", then have another
admin schedule run and change the mgmt class back to the incremental one.
With that said the peice that seems to be missing is that don't you have
to re-activate the PolSet for that mgmt class to take affect?  If so this
looks like you would have to write a script to pass the "yes" that the
activate pol set cmd requires...
Any thoughts?
Thank You!!!!!

"I also make monthly full backups. I made another management class with a
copymode of ABSOLUTE! Then I made an admin command schedule to make the
absolute management class the default. I scheduled this admin command to
run at the end of the month. Then I just run my normal INCREMENTAL backup
schedules. They now make full backups. After completion I run another
admin command schedule to make the old management class the default. "
