This sounds like a good solution. I was under the belief that when I did
something like this that the archival process would start rebinding
previously archivals and therefore change the retention. But I guess that
is not true.
Thanks
Matt

You set up a bunch of different management classes in the domain, each with
an ARCHIVE COPY GROUP that has a different RETAIN period.
(Our manaagement classes are called, for example, ARCH-90days ARCH_1Year,
ARCH-2Year, etc.)
When you do an archive from the GUI, you click the OPTIONS button (the
unlabelled one - isn't that helpful!?!), click the OVERRIDE INCLUDE/EXCLUDE
box, and select the management class you want from the pull down.
If you are archiving with a command line, you specify the appropropriate
maangement class name with the
-archmc= parm.
That gets the right retention period assigned to the archived files.

Subject: Archival with different retentions?
Hello All,
As word gets out that we now have a central backup system, some new
requirements have appeared. In general our NETWARE servers have a FULL
backup, (copymode=absolute), every 2 weeks and a daily incremental. This is
retained for 45 days. The financial group wants an ARCHIVE every quarter,
(so they can clear out working files) that are saved for 15 months, (so
they can go back to there working files if need be). They also want a year
end ARCHIVE that is saved for 7 years. I am not sure how to accomplish
this. I am afraid that if I change the archival RETAIN period back and
forth on the archivegroup that I will end up with a year end archival that
will only be saved for 15 months. Anybody work this problem out before or
be able to give me their ideas?
Thanks in advance
Matt
