Re: [ADSM-L] Scheduling a full archive of data once/month

84 Monthly Archives - be careful on how that will make your TSM-database
grow...

(Depending on how many nodes and how many objects backed up per node...)

Our TSM database grew from 30GB to over 300GB in under two years and
nearly cratered the Win2k server.

We moved to 3 TSM servers (same versions as you have) - 2 "beefy" AIX
servers for daily backups and 1 AIX server strictly for the monthly
archive.

The archive server backs up less than a dozen nodes (with detailed
incl/excl) for the past 5 years & we currently have about a TSM-database
of around 150GB...

Just a heads-up...

Hello Larry,

I was just wondering where you found this syntax?  From the command line
when I did a help define schedule it didn't give me all of these
features.
 I just thought I would ask before I try this out.  Thanks again!

Something like:
1). def sched <domain> monthlyarch act=archive scheds=enhanced
week=first
day=saturday options='-subdir=yes -domain="all-local"'
expiration=10/30/2014

2). associate your clients with the schedule
