Hello Hans, Before moving the directory OLD to NEW, you can:
1. Create a new (special) management class for OLD that is similar to the current management class, but has the desired RETONLY setting (for example, maybe it should match RETEXTRA?) 2. Add an INCLUDE statement to bind all files in OLD to the new management class 3. Next incremental backup will rebind all files in OLD to the new management class that has the lower RETONLY setting Best regards, Andy ____________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Raibeck | IBM Spectrum Protect Level 3 | stor...@us.ibm.com IBM Tivoli Storage Manager links: Product support: https://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/product/tivoli/tivoli_storage_manager Online documentation: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7/landing/welcome_ssgsg7.html Product Wiki: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home/wiki/Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> wrote on 2016-11-22 05:38:38: > From: Hans Christian Riksheim <bull...@gmail.com> > To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU > Date: 2016-11-22 05:39 > Subject: Rename directory > Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> > > A customer wants to move a lot of data from directory OLD to NEW.
