Robert,
There really isn't a 'FULL' backup option in the client
scheduler. There is the option of saying SELECTIVE and then you have to
list all the files that are to be backed up. Meaning it isn't reading
through the INCLUDE/EXCLUDE list that you so painstakingly put together.
So what I do is I have my client backups spread out a little by POLICY and
start time. Then every 2 weeks for some and monthly for others, I run an
administrative schedule that updates the COPYMODE on the particular
POLICY/MANAGEMENT CLASS/COPYGROUP, and ACTIVE the updated POLICY SET. Then
when the backup runs the copygroup is set to ABSOLUTE. This causes the FULL
backup to occur. It is kind of a round about way of doing things but I
found no better way of getting the FULL backups to happen. I run another
administrative schedule that sets the COPYMODE to MODIFIED an hour after the
backup starts. The backup reads through this information when it starts so
you don't have to wait till all the backups in the schedule have finished to
switch it back. This way I can have a portion of the servers in 1 POILICY
doing a FULL backup while other servers are doing an INCREMENTAL.
I spread the client backups into different POLICYs and start
times so I can better control the amount of data that is going to the server
when I am doing the FULL backups. I try to keep the client backup schedules
pretty much the same. I have week day schedules and week end schedules.
But the administrative schedules are controlling whether or not any
particular schedule is doing a FULL.

I miss something what about the action in the client schedule by default is
: Incremental don't we have to change it to: Full and so we have to insert
in objects all the filesystems ?????????????

Bill,
I do monthly FULL backups by using an admin schedule to changed the
COPYMODE to absolute before the desired server is backed up. I also have
one that switches it back to modified about a hour after the backup starts.
Don't forget to do the ACTIVATE of the updated POLICY. I only use one node
name per server.

Subject: Monthly full backup
Hi ,
I am new to TSM (mostly self taught) and not too hot on NT either. I need
help from someone with a bit of time and patience to spare.
My objective is to do a full monthly backup in addition to the daily
incrementals for a particular backup client.
I intend to use two different node names, two different Domain policies, and
two separate schedulers and different dsm.opt files. Maybe run the full
backup in command mode & copy control mode absolute. I would like the
schedules to run without any manual intervention.
Am I on the right track ?
Now how exactly do I go about this ? ( as much detail as you like,please!)
My TSM Server runs NT 4.1 & TSM 4.1
My Backup Client runs NT 4.1
Cheers
Bill Dourado
