Zosi, Not sure exactly what you're trying to accomplish, but it would appear you have a single directory that you want to back up every day whether the data changes or not, and keep copies of those file for a different period of time than the other files on that system?
If so, you can accomplish that without having to schedule a different backup, and much less complication. Create a separate management class within the same policy set, giving it a name that you will use in the dsm.opt include statement - I'll call it FULL for example. Create a backup copy group in FULL that has the retention parameters you want for the file. If you want to keep 30 days worth, specify 30 for all the retention parameters. In the backup copygroup, specify copymode=absolute rather than the default, modified. In the dsm.opt file on the client specify include \directoryforfull\...\* FULL to get all of the files. Note that backing the file up even if it didn't change didn't really buy you anything over doing the incremental backups to a management class that has the right retention parameters. The point in time restore will allow you to recreate the directory with all the files of a given day within the confines of your retention parameters.

How can i do a full backup instead of archiving everyday? Because i have a folder of data that need a full backup everyday, right know i'm doing archive everyday. Is there a possible solution to do a full backup of that data? Any help from you is really appreciated. Thanks Zosi Noriega ADNOC Abu Dhabi UAE 009712 60249987
