Thanks for that

Regarding the extra version, I don't think it matters here as there;s
prolly only ever one version anyway. Regarding the " " arround the dir/file
spec, is this necessary to make it work?

Thanks

Farren

yes it is.
I´d only add "" around the directory/file specification.

Because you keep you keep 3 file versions for 180 days
there is one extra thing to be considered:
be aware of renaming files, directories or moving files to
different directories.
Once this happens, next tsm backup will expire
all extra version thus eliminating your efforts
to keep extra backup versions for long time.

Betreff: Simple Backup Copy Group Question


Hi TSMers

Ok, I think I know what I'm doing, but I just want to check something to
make sure (call ma paranoid if you like).

Running TSM 5.1.6.2 on Solaris. Backing up a Solaris 5.1.6.0 client.

I want to back up one directory and all it's sub dir's with a different
Management Class to the rest of the server. Now, I have set up a new
management class and made sure it is active. The class in question is
called RETDEL750 and the Backup Copy Group under this looks as follows :-

Versions Data Exists        3
Versions Data Deleted        1
Retain Extra Versions        180
Retain Only Version        750

This means that when a file gets deleted from the server, we'll still have
it in backup for 750 days. This much is fine.

Now, under the client option set for this server I have added an include
statement as follows :-

include /app/production/prodlive/jasper/data/content/loading/.../*
retdel750

Is this the correct way to associate the backup copy group and make sure
that it is applied to all files and sub dir's.

Thanks in advance
