Have you tried setting up two schedules using the MODE option ( http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSGSG7_7.1.6/client/r_opt_mode.html )? One schedule running Monday til Saturday with -MODE=IFIncremental and one on Sunday with -MODE=IFFull ? This will create for the same data center node incremental forever full and incremental forever incremental backups.
If you want to get a separate set of backups for example for long term retention, you can find a recommendation on developerworks in the "DP for VMWare FAQ for Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments". Look for "Q26 How do you create backups for long term data protection?": https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager/page/DP%20for%20VMWare%20FAQ%20for%20Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager%20for%20Virtual%20Environments?section=Q26%20Long%20Term Mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards Stefan Bender IBM Deutschland / Am Weiher 24 / 65451 Kelsterbach / Germany IBM Software Development "IBM Spectrum Protect" Tel. ++49-7034-643-2773 / Fax. ++49-06131 -84-2520 / email: stefan.ben...@de.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IBM Deutschland Research & Development GmbH / Vorsitzende des Aufsichtsrats: Martina Koederitz Geschäftsführung: Dirk Wittkopp Sitz der Gesellschaft: Böblingen / Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 243294 From: S Kumar <our....@gmail.com> To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Date: 06.11.2016 10:12 Subject: [ADSM-L] VMware Full And Incremental Backup Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> Hi One of my customer want to schedule Weekly full and rest incremental.
