Thanks Andy for the info.

I came in on Saturday/Sunday and found these in the manuals/docs CD-ROM
you indicated.

They worked as stated!

Thanks again!

Ken,

You will find the server commands DEFINE SCHEDULE and UPDATE SCHEDULE in
the TSM Administrator's Reference. The client ARCHIVE command is
documented in the client manual. I leave it for you to find them within
the books, as this is a good opportunity to become more acquainted with
them.

Best regards,

Andy

Thank you Andy.

I will try this.

btw-can you or someone else tell me in the TSM manual(s)  where these
archive parameters are documented on how to use them??

Correction: my sample schedule definition should have included the
ACTION=ARCHIVE parameter:

   DEFINE SCHEDULE STANDARD MYARCHSCHED
      ACTION=ARCHIVE
      OBJECTS="c:\mydir\ c:\yourdir\"
      OPTIONS="-subdir=yes -archmc=myarchmc"

Regards,

Andy

ARCHIVE operations require one or more file specifications, i.e. "dsmc
archive c:\mydir\ -subdir=yes" or "dsmc archive c:\mydir\ c:\yourdir\
-subdir=yes". Thus when defining schedules on the TSM server, you need to
use the OBJECTS parameter to specify the file specs, and the OPTIONS
parameter to specify any options (like -SUBDIR=YES and/or -ARCHMC=blah,
etc.).

For example, I could define a schedule like this:

   DEFINE SCHEDULE STANDARD MYARCHSCHED
      OBJECTS="c:\mydir\ c:\yourdir\"
      OPTIONS="-subdir=yes -archmc=myarchmc"

For additional info, see DEFINE SCHEDULE and UPDATE SCHEDULE in the
Administrator Reference and look up the ARCHIVE command in the client
manual.

Andy

In poking around some more, I found that the TSM Backup-Archive Clients
Install/Users Guide has the "include.archive XXXXXXXXXXXX" statement in
the normal include/exclude file.

I will try this and see if it works.

I can do manual client archives via the GUI so I know archives work.

Thanks for your trouble.

W2K TSM 5.1.6.3

Client has been backing up normally with schedmode=polling.

I have never used archives before, so I need some help here.

I setup the archive copygroup to keep archives for 2555 days (7 years).

I created an archive schedule and thought that would be it as far as
archiving configuration goes, but I received the following error in the
client dsmsched.log:

08/15/2003 15:02:19 ANS1079E No file specification entered
08/15/2003 15:07:19 ANS1079E No file specification entered
08/15/2003 15:12:19 ANS1079E No file specification entered
08/15/2003 15:17:20 ANS1079E No file specification entered
08/15/2003 15:22:20 ANS1079E No file specification entered

The Message manual indicates that "You did not enter a file specification
as prompted".

Where does one enter the "file specification" for archive if the archive
is being done in a polling schedmode?

Doesn't archive just read the client dsm.opt file for the
includes/excludes and use this for the archive??

I am not using CLOPTSETs.

TIA
