I do not believe you can ARCHIVE the systemstate/services/asr. Only data. And 
you would specify C:\* and not the \\*\c$.

If they need the system for recovery/BMR then you'll have to switch it to a 
backup job. That would mean you wound need a 2nd
nodename for these servers since you'll be retaining the data differently than 
the daily incrementals. You could create a policy
domain for these nodes (and any future nodes) with just a default management 
class of 7-years. Then your monthly schedule could be:

1) Create another set of TSM services using the monthly nodename and create an 
ACT=INCREMENTAL schedule against that nodename

2) Create a .CMD file that runs the DSMC I -VIRTUALNODE=<monthly name> 
-PASS=<password> and pipe that out to a file. Also don't
forget return codes in the script. RC=4 is skipped files. Then your monthly 
schedule is ACT=COMMAND with an OBJECT of the .cmd file.
Don't need a 2nd set of services that way. Or even a 2nd DSM.OPT file. If you 
need a 2nd DSM.OPT then DSMC I -OPTFILE=<2nd opt
file>, but you'll have to make sure and get the password entered and validated.

Hello everyone,

After going through all info. on the command and in looking at the 2 servers I 
would like to archive with this schedule I was
wondering if I have the syntax correct if I would want the schedule it to run 
on the first Saturday of every month at 1 AM and use
management class arc2555 and archive ALL data on each nodes that is in the hmig 
domain:

define schedule hmig monthly_archive action=archive options='-subdir=yes 
-archmc=arc2555' objects='"system state" "system services"
asr "\\*\c$"
\\*\d$" "\\*e\$"' startd=11/03/2007 startt=01:00 duration=1 duru=hours 
scheds=enhanced week=first day=Saturday expiration=never

Or do I have this completely wrong?  Thanks again!

Re: Scheduling a full archive of data once/month






I do not believe that the DOMAIN option is valid for the ARCHIVE function.
The description for DOMAIN is the drives to be included for incremental backup 
processing. For ARCHIVE you have to specify what you
want processed in the OBJECTS= parameter for the schedule. ARCHIVE also does 
not process your systemobject, system services or
system state objects. If you want to use a schedule and ARCHIVE for everything, 
you'll need to specify each drive in a separate
schedule for each node. OBJECT='C:\* D:\*'for example.
It is not dynamic in that if the admin adds a drive, you will need to adjust 
the schedule to include the new drive.

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
